In my Madness

In my Madness

A Poem by UponTheBrink
"

So, I actually just wrote this. Things have been a little rough lately, and I'd be lying if I said i hadn't lost myself somewhere along the way. I hope to find myself again soon.

"
In my madness,
I can see your eyes,
Blue as Ice and cold as Death.

You stare through me,
And you know--
You know me better than I know myself.
I am weak, and I am powerless
To your blinding azure gaze.

In my madness,
I can see your smile,
Content as ever and as welcoming as Death.

You smile for me,
And you know--
You know me better than I know myself.
I am worthless, and I am nothing
Against your solemn grin.

In my madness,
My most compelling madness,
I can hear your voice
And feel your touch
As every second lasts an eternity,
And all of eternity lasts but a second.

You call to me,
And you reach your hand for me,
And you know--
You know that behind that glass,
Even though you are not real,
Your voice
And your touch
Have reached me.

And that you are me--

In my madness.

In my madness I lost a grip, an invisible hand let go. Looking in the mirror and grinning, oh that reflection knows well its doing, but it is in fact not real, until we live in our madness. Its ok to peek our eyes in, but staying, for myseld, id rather not.
