Nadir

Dreams at play, nightmares wake

Drenched in a cold sweat as I gaze at the ceiling

It's early in the morning and the birds have yet to sing

A growing pain in the pit of my stomach

As if my insides are eating me alive

But I've fallen deeper

There's a quick escape but I choose to stay anyway

No expression whatsoever, can't show weakness

I look at your face, disgusted at what you've become

I'm sorry you've let yourself down

I'll remember you
