Secrets of the Wommon I Love

YOUR WORDS MIRROR MY JUMBLED THOUGHTS

A SMOOTH GLASS REFLECTION OF THE CHAOS IN MY BRAIN

PUT SO ELOQUENTLY INTO MOVEMENT BY YOUR

SAVAGE HEART AND FIERCE WILL

I WISH I COULD CALM YOUR ELEMENTS

WRAP THEM UP IN A SERENITY BANDAGE

UNTIL THE SHAKING SUBSIDES

BUT HOW CAN I GIVE YOU PEACE WHEN I HAVE NONE OF MY OWN?

WE TALK IN WHISPERS OF THE DARKNESS

KNOWING NO ONE ELSE WILL TRULY UNDERSTAND

WITHOUT HAVING FELT THE SICKNESS THEMSELVES

SO, LET'S DRINK TO OUR INSANITY.

RIDE THE WAVE OF ANXIETY AND RELEASE

ALL THE WAY TO THE END OF THE WORLD

FALL ON THE SHORE OF A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP

AND FILTER AWAY IN THE SANDS OF TIME

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this once for a good friend who asked me to write her a poem. She didn't like it.
