ETERNAL SYMBIOSIS

Posted by Scott in Vermont on August 9, 2004, at 12:45:07

ETERNAL SYMBIOSIS
I’m with you in the morning
I’m with you every night
I’m with when you acquiesce
I’m with you when you fight

I own your every single breath
And the marrow of your bone
I own the thoughts within your head
I own your very soul

I pull your strings to amuse my whims
Hot tears run down your face
I laugh as you frantically look for your meds
I know where they are misplaced

I make you clench and release your fists
I make you pull your hair
I make you clench the blankets tight
I hurt you and I don’t care

I am the monster that rules your life
I am the beast inside
I am the creature that causes this pain
There’s nowhere you can hide

I make you dance to my favorite tunes
I make you sing the saddest songs
I make dig in the medicine chest
I make the nights so very, very long

I make you beat your fists so hard
Against your fragile face
I tease you with fresh razor blades
Against the skin you can't replace

I make you stop in the pharmacy
The sleeping pills make you sigh
I make you go to the hunting store
And count the ways you could die

I torment you with promises
Of serenity and peace
An eternity of solitude
That’s just within your reach

A handful of pills or a deeply slit wrist
And all of your dreams would come true
Or so you think, because here I rule
And I will never allow that of you

Intense and very personal poem of the struggle within you.
I am in awe.

Just re-reading old boards. Scott was a terrific writer. I missed him. Where is he now?
