Jabberwocky

circa 04


everything is distorted and wrong
no matter where i run
the jabberwocky is at my back
he stares at me though steel eye lids
and i feel myself bending to his will.
and he digs his claws into me
and a bleed. i bleed for him.
i don't know why i let him hurt me
but i can't shake the jabberwocky from my back
for fear that he may some day raise steel lids
and look upon me with shame
and then i would fall to my knee's
before my weakness
and weep for what i have lost.
