You're making me Ill

Yesterday bleeds into tomorrow
and you're still choking on the amnesia
Swallowing those pills ever harder but you
still can't sleep
As you slowly fall into delusion
Reaching out to me through sick
confusion

I don't know how to grasp your hands
so tightly and pull you back into salvation
Vindication
Isn't as easy as it sounds

Your blood shot eyes
wide with fury and exhaustion
flicker and flutter as
thoughts race across your blind
sided brain
Insane
Is not the word for your unfaltering
resolutions
Empty, unorthodox conclusions
because every one around you is
staring like a clock on the wall
Ticking like an incessant time bomb
Hissing at your
leather faced grin

And I can see you fall apart at the seams
That tight wound coil springs
and You twitch and shutter
in rapid processes of uncanny realization

Your voice scratches against my skin like
broken finger nails
Biting on that panic stricken ear drum and
resonating a bleak and morbid distress

I can't take the pressure
of your hypocritical lies
breaking down into my mind
You're driving me to the edge of
Incoherence
As my abilities falter and crumble under
your weight

I can't take this...You're just so Insane.

An exqusite evisceration. I hope you never feel the need to open me to the world like that :)

Madness can be contagious, which is why one person's mental instability can affect your own. Sometimes we want to help, but... simply cannot for the sake of our own sanity...

the darker side of mental deadfalls can trip us all up in their descent~ powerful and sharply detailed excursion through those dark~so dark mental terrains of another~ witness to breaking mind~ excellent!~

[Jonathan De Elvira]

when I start to read this, I feel sorry for tht person who's having the amnesia,
but then as I keep on I couldn't stop the feeling of stuck in there..
then the last line make sense n put me instantly into "please don't bother me" mode...

man, this one has some twisted taste in it....
ur good with this kind of work, keep it up :)
