The Gaping Maw Of Insanity

 
so very weary  
all my pennies have been spent  
cast to the crows  
 
who have pecked away my sanity  
wrapped in scarlet silk  
and cadaverous ink  
 
stretched thin  
a taut wire
ready to snap  
 
empty pockets  
which I still reach into  
nothing but a hole there  
 
a void  
from which I can't escape  
I lie prostrate  
 
naked and bare  
begging for some escape  
trapped I lapse  
 
into delirium  
reveling in this feeling  
hiding where the gaping maw  
 
can't consume me  
staying in the shadows  
where it's cool
