that summer of young foolish hope
and tragedy that followed
i told him to leave me be
for my mind to think with me
and he did finally leave
i was alone with my thoughts
he assumed i was just thinking
for i appeared fine and calm
but what he didn't realize
was the terror in my eyes
my thoughts were deadly
and they were gnawing at my insides
raging on like a growing demon
one that had never walked on earth
in human form
my thoughts were very simply
feeding on me inside out
they were eating me alive
