Your insanity traps me
surrounds me with heavy darkness and loneliness.
I welcome death, but then again fear it
I'm so alone when her mind is twisted
Her tongue rips through my heart
causing my soul to bleed.....
Yesterday I was young and alive
today I am old and dying.
She rambles in the distant room
locked in conflict with her thoughts
My heart beats wildly contemplating a better life
a life which at times seems would only be a reality through my death.
Charging into the room she switches on the blinding light
blasting me for something I committed in her twisted mind.
A something locked from my view, my reality, very much etched in her burning brain.
I confront her to no avail for my uncommitted sin
she flees the tense room
ever more infuriated, for my unknown heartlessness.
I don't pursue remaining to relish in my painful loneliness.
I wish to escape...
I want to leave; but my heart won't let me go...
I remember the you that left, full of life and love
She's the one I can't let go
She's the one inside of you
crying for rescue
but too far to reach....

Dealing with the insanity of a loved one, takes patience and a lot of grace from God.
