Slipping Through My Fingers


The world is spinning

Too fast for me to follow.

So much on my mind it

Feels it will self-destruct.

-

Why is it that I feel blissful

Happiness when I taste

Bitter blood heavy on my tongue?

That face, it floats in my eyes, it

Floats in my dreams and

I can't take it anymore.

-

I'm loosing control. It's

Slipping through my fingers

Like strands of liquid silk I

Cannot grasp.

-

Memories fade away too

Quickly and I can't seem to

Remember whether they

Were real or a long-ago dream.

I turn around to find that

My sanity has run off without my notice.

I turn back to see

That my soul is preparing its funeral.

-

I'm loosing control. It's

Slipping through fingers

Like strands of liquid silk I

Cannot grasp.

-

Images are blurring as

They fly past.

I can't see them clearly

And it burns my eyes when I try.

There's screaming, screaming

In my ears, though I

Try to cover them in vain.

The world is swirling and drowning,

Weaving in hazy streams all around me.

-

They're yelling, demanding at

Me, these people I know and for

What reasons they won't leave.

I cry in my prayers, but

God won't help me now.

-

I'm loosing control, its

Slipping through my fingers

Like strands of liquid silk I

Cannot grasp.
