Insanity

The most beautiful thing I had ever seen
Had brilliant green eyes
That stung my soul
And brought four walls
Crashing down around my feet...

She took my hands
And put them to her chest
Said I could penetrate her heart
If only She could let herself
Be taken apart again

And I fell for her
So fast my head spun
My knees buckled
And my legs gave way
To eternity

Soon, I found myself drowning
My aching heart had never known
Such passion and fury
She could turn on and off
Like a light

Though I always loved her
Even before the day
She introduced herself to me
Soaking wet and running from the rain
I couldn't handle her

Her wide-eyed mysteries
That burned the words out of
A book resolved to become dust
Were too wild, and far too apathetic
To ever remember my name

She was mad, I recall
While she etched her name
Into the nape of my neck
I couldn't help but think
Of love, and the absence of it

Obsession kept me from leaving
Before she took herself away, anyway
The best thing that ever happened to me
Had a death wish, and was on fire

Prone to leave me stranded at the end
Whenever she should choose.
