Psychosocial Prison
Here I lay, trapped in this psychosocial prison
Yet, all I can think about is you.
It's hard on my heartbeaten
They try and try to medicate memake me aright
But as far as you are, I remain blue
As I tiredly close my eyes you are the only thing in my sight
Here I lay in a dim, flickering light
Surrounded, I feel alone without you near by
I wish you were with me tonight
You would make me so insanely ecstaticchange my mood on a dime
But, alas, as I lay here, I give a reluctant sigh
I won't see you, not for some time
Soon enough though, I will be better
Then I can you once more Karen
I'll even cash in on that hug y
You are the honey in my mead
That makes my evenings sweet,
The champagne in my orange juice
Excitable and eager to start my day,
The wine in my goblet
Dark, dry, and intense,
The vodka in my hot cocoa
Which comforts and lulls me,
A veritable witch's brew
Like a potion that elevates my spirits,
But there is danger in too much drink,
And no magic can cure its crapulence.

The Madwoman in the Attic
Poor, sweet creature
She can only hurt herself behind locked doors
She is ill
She is sick
She must be quarantined
For her own good as well as others'
She couldn't handle the excitement of my world
But if I keep her locked away
No one has to know she is the company I keep
No one has to hear her weep
Her mind cannot be saved
But I can save her soul
That is why I care for her
More a ward than a lover
My bride need never learn of her
This unchaste lunatic in the attic
The woman I love adheres to my soul.
I would not exorcise her if I could.
The sweet words she whispers can make me whole.
Driving her from my heart would do no good.
Why do I banish demons from my mind,
While her voice lingers as a welcome guest,
When she, like any spectre, makes me blind?
I must submit to her ev'ry behest!
Oft have I awoken from slumber deep
Surprised to find she was not in my bed.
The dream felt so real that it makes me weep
When I realize 'twas all in my head.
Through the darkness sounds a knock at the door.
There stands my love; I'll be alone no more
My voice can charm spirits back from the dead,
Yet I can't seem to charm your heart to mine.
I can hear the thoughts inside of your head.
You think not of me; will I e'er be thine?
I bring you blossoms as one would a tomb,
Yet still you scoff at my feelings for you.
Love grows inside me like life in a womb.
You accuse me of intentions untrue.
I can prove my love if given the chance,
But you've forced me to devise new schemes.
The only way for us to share romance
I'll come as an incubus in your dreams.
And when the sunrise at last sets you free,
May you awake longing to be with me.
I could spend days, months, or even years
Trying to get this right
But i'll always be in the shadows
Never in your sight
I could double check every word
Trying to tell the truth
But you still won't understand
So i'll hold myself aloof
I want to write with such eloquence
That you'll be powerless under my spell
But my pen can't rescue me
From my finely written hell
I can't complain about this punishment
As it is one that i devised
With all my pretty songs i trapped us
Though i never lied
I tried to make our love so beautiful
The stuff of fairy tales
And for a while it seemed like that
Although our charms did fail
But i trie
When you met me
I was fragile, delicate and confused.
You the all knowing artist
I your silent muse.
Oh, how much has changed
That you cannot accept
But you know deep down inside
I'm no longer your submissive pet.
You no longer shape my future
To your decisions i no longer agree
But still i keep on nodding
Waiting for you to see
I'm so much stronger
Than you will ever know
You think i still need you
That i will never go
I'm independent,
No longer need your hand
I walk on my own two feet
Yet still you don't understand:
I was always stronger
Than you gave me credit for
But i used to want you
I don't need you anymore.
Waiting for your humiliation
Nothing good about your situation
Can smell your perspiration
Can almost taste your desperation
These words should make you quiver in fear
I know you know it
Your end is drawing near
(It's coming)
Nothing you can do
No more pain you can cause
I know you know it
I ain't scared anymore
(It's coming)
From the darkness will emerge a beast
Your nemesis
On your blood alone it shall feast
(It's coming)
I see your expression
The glaze in your eyes
Your death will give me
What is rightfully mine
(It's there)
No longer do you twist and control
My thoughts and my actions,
My body and soul.
As you are
Through the misty mountains of Bavaria
Have I climbed just to make my way to you
Soaring high, stricken with hysteria
But the pow'r of your love carries me through
Wand'ring through the forest so foreboding
My one desire to be by your side
I press on, not quite sure where I'm going
But your voice makes me bold, so on I ride
O, my shield and sword are heavy, I know
But they don't slow me down, my heart is light
Wherever you go, love, I will follow
I'll be your Valkyrie throughout the fight
And when the war is won, you'll hold me tight
And you'll be my hero all through the night
Your masculine scent lingers on my skin
Your lips felt so soft, yet your hands were strong
I'm still not convinced what I did was sin
It was destined to happen all along
When our hands first touched, the whole world stood still
You said there were no hands but yours and mine
You begged me not to leave you, I ne'er will
Each moment I spent with you was divine
Paranoid, frightened senseless, terrified
When you woke that morning, I wasn't there
You thought I'd betrayed you, and then you cried
I returned to find you ripping your hair
I love you, dear, but your fear frightens me
Please understand this is why we can't be.

Whoops, I'm sorry. I may have by accident (wasn't paying attention) submitted 'Never Gone' to the wrong folder. Let me know - it should have gone to poetry. I'm off to a great start aren't I. ; )
