untitled2

The moonlight stretches over my madness

the deep blue of the sky with its twinkling scars

mirroring the shrapnel of marring marks along my soul

alone....like a soundless echo bouncing around the canyons

how could it escape me, why is everything awry

drowning in the spirals of intense light

such a vindictive prison, entrapping the body

in the nightmares life has become a shredded hope

pulled away like warm covers in the morning

why is it that im in a labyrinth...yet with no way out

sand has gone thru my fingers into the next player's hands

now without control i fly wild as chaos on the wing

no motives, no wants only one prickling need that can never be met

such betrayal leaves so many questions...all in a chorus of why

let this night be over so i may return

change and morph once again trying to fit the mold that was given

yet will it ever fit?

too small this world that im pulled into

on eggshells i tiptoe with needles piercing my skin

how do i escape such a vicious night

the dark inhumanity with its bloodlust is after me

in this cannibalized society
