Madness

-Audio Player-

Most nights

I can’t sleep

I’m not mad about it

I’m not sad about it

I’m just…

awake

and while I find
myself undead
within the shadows
of this bed

the theater
of my conscious mind
crafts stories
that I find divine

where faces
so familiar
whisper worlds
that were never true

and I slip into
madness
because in madness
I am here
with you

you say to me
that I am yours

in this world
of in between

you say to me
that all this pain

was truly
just a dream

I feel
my arms
around you

holding tightly
never letting go

but then
the room
illuminates
in darkness
that I too well know

I open my eyes

you are not there

I open my arms

you are not there

I check my phone

you are not there

there is only

your silence

and so
again

I try to sleep

held in a dream
I’ll not defeat

between
the truth

and madness…
