Stifling bandage

You've always known, already then
While I couldn't see the signs

I kept my head under wraps
                        Suffocating

Scrolling to no end
The web pages like gauze
Around my chest my neck my intimacy
And upon my eyes

So tight you couldn't
Move freely anymore
                         Victorian gown
In the palm of your hand

And at times it would seem
It would tear your own skin. 

It took time to soothe 
The enduring pain. More of the same poison.
But not quite. 

As it goes, on and on,
The scroll and the wait and the hatred and the thirst for attention, 
The thread never breaks. 
From one life to another, I'm always online.
