Desperation as I’ve never known it boils beneath the skin.

Itching and bubbling it crawls over every surface.

Poisoning my mind with a red haze.

All is lost to the fear raging in my gut.

Nowhere to go, and no one to turn to.

Alone in the twilight.

Chasing the setting sun.

Moon looming at my back.

Desperation as I’ve never known settles within.
