Brief spasms of lucidity

Brief spasms of lucidity

A Poem by Patrick McCombs

I imagined your touch
It was almost too much 
And the wind screamed
And I no longer dreamed
Of soft lies 
Only foreign skies 
Alien landscapes that stretch on forever 
And my grip on reality starts to sever 
Yesterday I thought I saw you across the street
I looked down at my feet
Too scared to look in your direction
Unwilling to spread the infection
That is locking eyes 
Because in them I see a thousand other guys
Five minutes later, I realized it wasn't you 
That nothing my eyes tell me is true
Its scary to think 
That everything is written in disappearing ink
I'm starting to slip
I'm losing my grip
I can't keep track of the days
Its all a never ending haze
Strange scenes 
Never ending dreams
Ever briefer spasms of lucidity
I'm losing all validity
