She was looking deep inside herself

she was looking for the texture

the taste of her soul

She was trying to find a maze

a way to get lost in her mind

what she found was a padded cell

and the color white

He was her lover

the reason she wanted

to be lost in the beginning

the reason she wanted to stay that way

His voice is what told her the commands

His voice was that of the devil's advocate

She danced with him in the pale moonlight

She let him hold her tight

He created the grey with in her mind

plant the seed to change wrong to right

Oh she had fallen in love with the wrong sort of man

This man was no man at all

He went by many names

but this is the tale of Insanity

He courted her with a simple rose

a few fancy tales

and what else

only God knows

She is nothing but a vegetable now

simply in love with Insanity

simply in love with the idea of being

crazy

its probably the only thing

that keeps her going in the world

  1. i love it the only thing i don't like is the 'she is nothing but a vegetable now' i like the line just not using the word vegetable


  2. This is very Gothic - dark, and Edgar Allan Poeish  - but, strangely I did enjoy it in a perverse sort of way (not being that way inclined myself).  I would love some full-stops and commas, though....can't help myself -it's my age!   I like the way you aren't a slave to rhyming, but that it does exist here, unobtrusively.  Your line choices are good, and make sense.

    (I bet you thought I wouldn't like it)
