Analysis of Where I Bleed

I caught the Muse having an affair….
  with my banished and cursed darker side

I could hear them laughing inside me,
  such lovemaking I cannot abide

A tryst most unwelcome though familiar,
  my dreams left abandoned of sleep

To kill off the one, I must kill off the other
 —alone in the night where I bleed
