As I sit in the darkened room
I let the madness seep in
Like the cold on a winter’s night
What there ever was of me is lost
Consumed by the turgid spaces of my pain ravaged mind
I drift off slowly receding into the misty distance
The vestiges of my spirit have wandered too far
For this profound sadness to produce tears.
They were left behind long ago
With my sanity and measured reason
The loss of emotional nuance
Leaves me vacillating between
The dull vacuum of apathy to
A sudden all consuming rage
Tethered to the outside world
Only by those who shelter me in their warmth
And pull me back to shore
A listless refuse.
I so want to return to the murky depths
But I cannot fight the pain in their eyes
I gasp for renewed breath
With mild resentment
