A man I once knew..

Staring through windows

       Blank Expression

                     Medicated

Distant

          Images in mind

                     The Dragon Sleeps

Memory demon

           Lurking deep within

                       Tormenting smile

Mocking laughter of man

                In personal holocaust

                        Maddening isolation

Therapy

            Confessions of abusive shame

                     Consumed by the illness

Freedom was a bullet

                Liberation

                           From the coil

Anguish

          Persecution

                as the battles leave their scars

Stigmata

             Whispers in the dark

                 desires to answer the call

Lines of Lingering sorrow

                   unshaven

                                Eyes wrapped in tears

The testimony of a dream

                 Able to see through

                            the shattered illusion

Existence is horror

             Physical manifestation

                    broken fantasies

Losing it all

            Depression

                      Hollow

 

Remain

        In personal holocaust

                  Maddening isolation
