The touch of Madness

Info


In meaningless virtues

Lies the delusional verity

Where a vision belongs

Amidst the shun of insanity


A lifetime of endless cravings

Flowing with the teardrop of a locked heart

Ever seeking the key which would reveal

The gushing desires to tear apart


This key only belongs to a memory

Buried deep within the tired soul

Loathed with fear in the sullied beliefs

Of reaching the moment of self control


Alas! The sapient too drifted with pleasures

Evolving from the core of defying felonies

Just her voice could differ them judgements

Through a sight beyond those melodies


But this voice be the voice of insanity

Many claimed and many abused

She held her own in the bed of madness

Refusing to drain in what was accused


Lay beneath the cloud of mercy

Let the world be gone in glory

She embrace this numb mortality beyond

And live once more to end her story

Dreams will see

Fragments of a night. He was much younger. But it didn't matter. For all that love I saved for me.

01
When in doubt...

I have been discriminative about people's worth. But there's always a reason...

00
Nothingness

The heart reveals itself as a bare palm.A hundred shakes, several hours without rest.Seeking rescue.
