time melts into itself as this vessel loses its ability to distinguish between zones

where are we ?

am i with you ? are you with me ?
have my claws sunken in deep enough, yet ?
do your muscles ache from the words that have been screamed at you ?

a tongue laced with poison has sliced through your chest
but all i’ve done is watch you bleed

you’re quick to comfort the goblin beside you
their words holding confusing messages as they give their lackluster performance of how to help a friend

there’s no applause
