Why would anyone really get to know me

when I'm the only one awake?

Everyone else eternally asleep

Why is the devil so interested in me?

Why does no one but me understand?

I kinda wish he'd understand

how it feels to wake up

alone

with the knowledge that something else is in there with you

Crying and trying to shield your own naked soul

from whatever is attempting to get within

Any other human

who shows sign of life

would comfort me

"Congratulations,

you've delivered a dead baby"
