Night grips at my soul
Ebony-clad hand at my throat
Vice in the heart gripping
Sanity in my mind slipping
Propane in my veins thumping
Blood dripping
Anger pumping.
Sadness making me a drunk thing,
Falling through mind's stink
Better think quick
Find a sober relief!
No pretty picture as I slip to the floor. . .
Mad disarray
Grip at the floor.
Mental decay
One hand shutting the door.
Night grips at my soul
Swallow me whole -
Down
Down
Down the rabbit hole.
An ebony-clad hand ripping up memories
Like an overturned desk,
Like an incurable disease.
Pray for release
From the maggots that feast;
Beasts on the mind clots of me.
Now give peace!
Night perpetuating my unease,
Sadness high
Eyes turned to the moon
Tears dry
Scenery dead with gloom
I can't cry
Scenery graveyard's black and white
I'll survive.
Though night grips my soul
While I slip
Into the rabbit hole.
