Even In Insanity
You know I used to think
Insanity was neat
I waited week by week
To be touched by that strange star
But now here we are
And I've been crawling in so far
Toppling off the bar
With just one drink…
And I thank you for your strength
But it's been too long a length
Eventually we'll break
So you should know:
I want to be with you when you go
I hate the way the madness shows
I hate the way I bring you low
And so
You need to leave...
And even though I'll grieve
My world out under me
Maybe I'll be reprieved
When I'm only all insane…
Crazed, I'll forget your name…
Hurt, you'll do the same;
Just know that before it came
You meant everything to me—
Though I won't know, we still will be:
I believe our love is free
I'll keep your shadow near to me
I'll love you just as complete
Even in insanity…

The Journey
Beneath my skin, my veins pulse with desire
To know why I am here.
As I journey to find the answers to life,
I sail through the monotonous seas
That stretch forever beyond the horizon.
As my ship sails towards the dry land,
Mountains tower before me,
Filling me with both awe and intimidation.
But the mountains are eroding as time passes by,
Into merely fragments of what they once were.
I move my eyes and watch the glaciers
Melt slowly into rivers.
But even though they disappear,
They melt to provide water for all life on this planet.
You could say rivers are created by glaciers for a purpose.
I ponder those mountains and glac

October, and the

i fade with
stilted shots, the audience
waits for me. choking. oh god
how could this happen
with my throat
twisted up
and my head bound tight
in ropes i'm not sure i want to
untie? snap my brittle
wrists. i'm losing again,
numbers scaling down to a
place i should not be.
a parasite is swallowing
my energy. tests are negative.
i breathe.

i don't know who he is but i remember
the wooden floor beneath me
the length of my hair
catching under my back
as i struggle
and
how it felt when he
left me on the floor,

Interesting idea you're putting forward. But then, I think it's hard to say someone's either sane or insane... it's a spectrum, I think, so in that case it would depend on the individuals involved as to whether they could stay in love. But hey, that's just my opinion. I like to think I've not lost it all, and that I can still love
