in memory of you- rhyming poem

Filed under: Poetry — ljohansson01 @ 2:44 am

i sit against a wall

my knees to my chest

i give it my all

for a wink of rest

eyes gazing forward in desperation

the memory of you making me numb

i don’t think of you with admiration

but how you made me blind, deaf, and dumb

Madness- free verse

Madness tiptoes up behind me

He whispers in my ears to wait for the sunrise

Because he fears he could be silenced in my dreams

Infiltrating my sanity and taking my brain for his own

I am thrown into the back of my own mind

Chaos bounds my hands and Absurdity swallows the key

I hear the sinister laughter echoing from my bones

I have been engulfed by Madness
