Wet Cotton

All I can do is dream
and sink deeper and deeper
into the soft embrace
of the cotton on my face,
lying in a pool of
self deprecation and hate.

Regret takes my heart
captive and choked
me until it was inactive,
her love is radioactive,
beautifully tragic,
I can't seem to
get past this.

The wetness finally
subsides and she has vanished,
waiting patiently until
I let her gain control
of my thoughts again.
