Hello, Sanity

Hello, Sanity

A Poem by Riley Bray
"

And I swear that when I needed you least, Sanity, you came to me.

"
Hello sanity,
Miss me?
Let me just say that finding you 
Is no easy feat.

You must have disappeared when 
I fell asleep
'Cause in my dreams
He came to me...

My world turned upside down 
When I saw him
And I swear you ditched me
'Cause I was falling...

Into his body I melted
Him holding me in his arms
As my mind spun and tilted
And I lost you somewhere in his charm.

It had been so long since I saw him
It had been forever since I knew he breathed
It had been so nice, to see him there with me,
And I had felt the warmth of love again.

And then it ended
With his blood up on the wall
My dear daddy
Unable to hear me or recall.

And I swear that
When I needed you least
Sanity
You came to me.

And my eyes flew open
And I sat straight in my bed,
Tangled and tied as I was that night
And tears of knowing exhausting me.

So hello sanity,
Did you miss me much?
Let me say that finding you
Made my heart again get crushed.

Wow, you surprised me there, I thought she was talking about someone she fell in love with in the past! Then you mention "Daddy" and that's when it got me!

You threw quite a twist in there! I was reading along like you were talking about a past love and then BAM! you through a twist in there and totally changed the meaning of the poem. Well done with this one Riley!

Thanks! :)
shocking twist doll, making 'him' the father. to think, sanity causing pain and dreams a relief. not a terribly original idea, but you've certainly put an original angle to it. great job :)

:) welcome hunny
This honestly, shocked me. At first I thought it was a romantic poem, and I had already planned out my review. But now, I'm practically speechless, which never happens. That was beautifully composed. Good job.

Yours truly, Delaney

better to languish in dreams and fantasy sometimes than to come to our senses...it is a difficult pill to swallow, but we all must do so. this write is very dark and resonant. a clever and yet provocative piece, nicely done.
