Desiccated dreams
I feel the familiar twinge
 Of the deep rooted itch
 Crawling under my skin
 Trying to tear and reveal my sin
 Tiny little bugs are in me
 Slicing at me with their knives
 Making me bleed from the inside
 This atrocious fact can't hide
 My stomach is full of worms
 Wriggling around with their bodies
 Burrowing down in my entrails periodically
 My face remains passive stoically
 Bile is rising up my throat
 Burning away my tongue
 A disgustingly sweet taste
 Thick and grimy like paste
 My lips they crack
 My eyes they roll
 my body is shaking
 It's taken a toll
 A twitchy smile graces
 My sullen pale face
 Scorching the ice of the night
 Yet freezing all that's in sight
