The Claws of the Tiger

Three million thoughts keep circleing around me,
I can't seem to sort them out.
The memories keep coming through and haunting me,
After so long of blocking them out.
I can't sit still and nothing can sooth me,
Nothing drowns the voices out.
I keep inching farther and farther from the hand of reality,
Trying to figure all the answers out.
You look at me with offset eyes and ask what's wrong with me?
Tell me to just snap out of it.
You simple darling can't you see it's almost hypnotic,
Once it's got your heart dear you can never get out.
I danced in it's lustful sinful circles in a time long ago,
NOw that it's had me it will never let go.
Once you've stepped into arm's length of the tiger,
YOu'll forever be marked by it's claws.
Three million thoughts rain through my head like a hurricane,
Blowing over my emotions, taking away everything.
It leaves behind fire and ashes in it's wake,
Dear you asked my why I'm so insaine.
Hunny you've entered a part of my mind with it's own name.
Once it touches you you are never the same.
I've lost touch with it and lost I will remain.
For simple reality,
Will never know my name.
