pink lucidity

 
twilight Xanax blues in kaleidoscope hues
dine on the anxiety dance
curl in on yourself tighter, tighter then scream
as the spirits press in for a taste of delirium

insanity a welcoming escape from the pain
I wonder where can one hide?
when the powers that be come headhunting for a soul

champagne watercolors run down my cheeks
as I seek to purge myself of the melancholy fear
taste a midnight rain so delicate and so afraid

come into my delusion and witness a transformation
I will decorate your pain with macabre fantasy
intricately wrapped in my madness die to truth and tell me lies
don't awaken me with a kiss of lucidity

I will deny your face oh vanity
sobriety is for the naked dead
I am fine here in the fire
leave me to burn in the icy isolation of my life
never to don on the morrow ever more

a single light bulb shines blacker in my darkness
a child of the file
filing my life away in the bleak outer banks
unto death
