Literature Text

I can feel something coming
It followed you here
But it's looking for me

Makes no sense to start running
The second I get up
I'm face down on the street

If you could, take a second
Let me look at your face
Give me one last time

"I'm assuming you reckon"
That I'm making this up
That everything's fine

But when it takes you over
And swallows you whole
Tearing you heart from sleeve

You're off looking for cover
You don't even turn back
As it takes over me

Through all the blood and the screaming
You watch from the windows
Of your vacant mind

At least this moment has meaning
Because I got what I wanted
In that "one last time"
I regretfully admit to stealing lyrics from Alkaline Trio to write ONE LINE in this poem.

Sleepyhead.
