It helps, something out of my control
I assure.
Something to smooth the edges, to blur the screen
To heighten the colours, to
Enhance the sounds.
Dancing, pretty,
Mesmerising and vibrant
My own fantasy world.
I won’t drink
I won’t eat
It ruins this world
I see your face
And I am smiling, laughing
Loving, living
In my fantasy world.
It all becomes fuzzy,
Tired and warm I lie down
The music surrounding, pulsing,
I see the lights dancing, pretty
Mesmerising and vibrant
Deepening as I drown further
Voices touching my heart and ringing
Vibrating through my ears my
Broken nebulous mind.
Inaudible words loving me
Your unspoken devotion reaching me.
Finally, my fantasy world.
I hear voices, far away
My bubble protecting me
From the cruel
Cruel world that haunts
My everyday existence.
The bubble protects, sooths
Softens, enhances
Beauty and happiness
Gives life and love new meaning
Like you used to give to me
The bubble protects me.
Eyes closing now, I am tired still
But I'm so alive, dancing
The music caressing me, so
Hot, so insane, so
Dangerous, but so irresistible
This perilous influence is too
Tempting, too
Delicious, too
Sparkling, far too
Indulgent.
To let go of, to return to sanity, to save
Myself.
