My Heartaching Sanity
A poem about regret
It’s crazy what people say about you
Once your reputation is gone
But the worst crazy of all
Is the one next to you at night
He eats at your soul
And he eats at your sanity
But you love him
You do
You love him
I do
Oh heavens
How to escape this madness
You happiness depends
On your next choice in words
Your life is happy
Your life is bruised
Your life elated
Your life is deflated
You run for days
You crash for nights
But at night
He is there
Seeping into your cells
Screaming into your dreams
HELP I scream
But to no avail
For he is there
Clawing into your sanity
He’s in my bed
He’s in my heart
He’s in my doom
He’s in my ending
He wants to me to carry
Carry many a thing for him
A ring
A child
A household
But is it too much to bear
He cries
He lies
He hides
He confides
But in the end
It’s all too much
Oh how I just want
For it all to end
Goodbye all
Goodbye my love
Goodbye my sanity
