The Sensation


fleeting, distant, disturbed

Afraid

trembling, shaking, convulsing 

"Be Brave"

Your eyes poke holes into the wall I built

to protect, prevent, stop

people like you from entering

you entered, you came, you saw

everything that was within me

the monster that was eating me alive

the big black dog that never went outside to play

my deepest darkest secrets, and everything that I feared

you saw them, you saw them, you saw them

yet you left me

maybe the sensation was just all too much

maybe since I was falling

you didn't want to be the one to catch me

well i've fallen

I'm down

but you promised, you promised, you promised

you said you'd never leave

but here i am all alone

facing The Sensation 

all alone

once

again
