sanitys demise

Subtlety a game you play so well

the touch of a spiders leg on dewy ground

insinuations breathed from minds opened eyes

the sound of laughter broken from sanitys demise



Surrender a game you played before

mind playing and taking score

a harsh rasp of once a soft exhale of light

darkness entered into you and conquered all that was right.



Tarnished all that was once burnished gold

heart sullied and mutated into scorn

beauty there for all to see

wrapped up in obstinance and carnality.



So I offer hand and glove and wrist and blood

I turn my face in hope that they will come

and rescue you from this place you trapped yourself

one place I cannot help



lost in yourself lost by yourself

inturn hate you don't deserve you are still you

You affect all that speak your name

make the insane smile and wish they remained



In a place close to where you used to dwell

a place called hope replaced by hell.

A ditty unlike those you know.

wow, just stunning
it reminded me of being in hospital, when people felt they didn't know me anymore, like this is what they would have said. Mental ilness is such a mystery.
