Bedlam~with the beautiful Jadedembers

 
The instinct to flee is normal. But there's no point in evasion, in trying to avoid pain and fear.
- Melanie Raabe

the black cackled with mirth
my mania spun on the day's wheel of chance
it came up delirium
delusions it would be

Spiders creeping from between the stitches
Their webs holding lips shut
Silence forced and shut away

the day scatter when madness is on the wind
lunacy comes calling and my demons pull up a seat
in for one hell of a crazy ride
they easily slip inside for a taste of bedlam

my inner lady retreats to the darkness
inside me, I hear her scream
no fear dawns...I am not afraid

mad laughter fills the room
I'm no longer in charge
I think... Or maybe control is an illusion
Like a hallucination come to life
Crazy lady isn't in her bed

Malignancy slowly absorbed into
Scarred skin coloring the ominous images stuck
Like a bullet in the skull

Captivating horrors growing in the night
Accepting the monster holding my hand
Escorted into fog

Sinfulness embraced in the flatness of his eyes
He thinks it keeps him safe and
Feeling in control of his destruction

Playing God with her destruction
His hate mirroring her wounds
