TaNGleD

Consciousness hiTs in the
bliNK of two eyes
chokE back the feelings of
wANTing to die
Guilt overtakes there are
mAny woRse oFF
ReLaTiVE sadness, I don't give
a tOss

Guilt slopes away, banneD
ForBiddEn to stAY
The sunlight a fOE I'm not
sure hOw to sLaY
The bells of St Mary's call
NorMal to pray
I loNg for the noRmal but it's
Off woRk todaY

A cocoon of daRkneSS,
oblivioN and hot
Is preferable to thouGHt
Because thought's in a KnoT
A tangled REAlity of achinG
and lOss, so
LifE can go... dO oNe...
I doN't givE a tOSS
