Parasitical Panic

Abnormal state of mind:
tranquility bliss
It helplessly slipped
through my fingertips

Heartbeat escalated
Hyperventilated
Seemingly decomposing mind
Spiraling and twisting
my insane despair cried

Ice circulated veins
Shivering, quivering lips
Articulate the desperate prayers

The empty promises are never yearned for
when evaporating
You lay on the floor
and your demons
you can't ignore

Peace induced anxiety
My mind
My breathless chest
Ceased with panic
My brain
My sunken heart
Long for logic

Walking to and fro in my room
my exploding head I try to hold
Burning
Peace I try to flow
unavailingly
In the crevices of my soul

I glimpse in the mirror
my reflection?
I do not know

Silhouette blur
It is not me?
Shrieking, deafening silence
panic won't let me be
Mind and body connection lack
As I realize I'm under attack

Utterly alone
I believe
All the love in the world
won't save me from this
destruction unfurled

Parasites
crawl and twitch
And they finally consume me
whole
