SACRED ASYLUM

(A song about futility)

 

Lately

My cell phone by my bed

Despite my aching head

Just in case you call

Like so many times before

My throbbing skull

Cannot comprehend

The stark reality

That you never will

Fear is a demon

I’m as sick as my secrets

Today I conquered fear

Your demon flees me now

I’m done with false hope

Definitely

At the end of my rope

Such passionate poetry

Flowing words of depth

Bouncing off indifference

Wasted on hypocrisy

How foolish of me girl

What the hell was I thinking?

As if I were drinking

But far too late to sober up

Dancing in the moonlight

Dreaming by the fire

Humanity

So selfish

Driven by desire

It’s not about the money

Success

No power trips

My soul seeks completion

I need a safe place to hide

Sacred asylum

Void of plasticity

Futility

Pantomime humility

No coincidence my friend

That vain

Rhymes with pain…….

My you are intuitive and observant.........This is my soul letting go of Mel after 7 years and moving on...........Do you begin to see the basis for my intrigue in the timing of you and I becoming friends?

Someone didn't live up to your expectations.

Sometimes they don't call back because God knows you've had enough long before you figure it out for yourself.

It was not to be. So be it.
