Swallowed Whole

As I sit in the woods my entire body begins to pulse,

every colour floods into my eyes,

I can no longer see.

Trapped in a holographic world filled with nothing but things.

Pretty things,

everywhere I look.

I stand behind a thick glass wall and watch myself.

She fills every inch of space with things,

beautiful,

beautiful things that make her feel so good;

until they don’t anymore,

so she gets more stuff.

She fills me up until I can no longer breathe.

I try to scream “NO STOP”,

but she keeps going;

so many things that they take over my whole being.

I can’t find myself anymore,

I’m completely shattered into a million pieces

and mixed into the mass of superficial gratification that continues to grow from within,

until I’m completely gone;

buried in the things.
