Her Twilight Zone Mentality

Another sad corrosion
no money back guarantee
my body lies
in the lobby
where her soul  
used to be.
one part makes me smile
the other part
i haven't seen in a while
i guess she was on the
night shift
she shouldn't have  
to live like this.
 
Outside
killers and sinners
reign supreme
sleepers
dream when scream
monsters lurk
in alleyways
eating the flesh
of lovers and runaways
kids die in gunfire
family's die in house fires.
Like dead stars in the night
no light of any kind
to warm the souls
of this human race
tonight or any night.
 
Our world exists
in the dark recesses
of her mind
trapped in the place
that love was trying
to find.
Parents and doctors
question her normality
they fail to grasp
there lives were created
within her twilight zone
mentality.
 
Forget this trapped emotion
there will be no guarantee
her body lies in the morgue
where her soul was meant to be
one part laughs in triumph
the other part weeps with sorrow
the world will end under her spotlight
all our today's will end tomorrow.
