Permeation

You've permeated that which I do not understand
Small yet consequential like the stab of a needle

You were the dentist telling me it wouldn't hurt,
You wouldn't hurt me.
Like anesthesia you numbed me, you consumed me until I succumbed.
Left dreaming

Helpless

Yet now that my celestial journey has ended I'm left to question
Was it all a dream?
Here I lay awake

Here I lay swollen

Here I lay ridden with pain

Here I lay betrayed

Yet...
Here I lay cured

Cured from that which I do not understand. But like a cancer you run through my blood, exposing me.
Saturating me.
My mind, my body, and heart.
Full of you.

I cannot fall into your medicine's comatose again.
I dare not lay helpless again.
