Insane

You’re driving me insane.

You’ve got my head spinning in circles.

You’ve got me seeing sounds

and tasting different shades of purple.

I feel like I’m floating

high above my body.

I feel like a ghostly mist.

Whatever I am, I am not me.

I am loving.

I am kind.

I am sweet.

Where did I go?

Is this some cruel game of hide and seek?

You’re tearing me apart.

I’m being ripped right in two.

All the violence, all the heartache,

I don’t know what to do.

You’re like a pit of tar.

Once I was stuck, I wasn’t going anywhere.

You’ve enveloped me in darkness

and pulled me down without a care.

Darkness can change a person.

It can sense each bit of light,

snuff it out

and continue its path of destruction without thinking twice.

You are the other half,

the thing no one can see.

You might live deep down inside,

but you are not me.

I am loving.

I am kind.

I am sweet.

I’ll drown out the dark with so much light

and for once, there will finally be peace.

The shadows will dance

with the flickers of light,

balance will be restored

and all will be right.
