Intermission In the White Room

Ridding the world of you came at a cost now I float without color without virtue Why can’t I feel my arms? what were once extensions to hold me up don’t provide much when walls aren’t a factor This place has an odd irony I seem to be the butt of it’s joke No violence, love, hate or demeanor is needed I don’t even think the decorator had any idea what to do with the interior Gave it to the serpent and the man with the hat who sits on the clouds I should probably move Saints come here for purification I’m the elephant in the room that everyone's well aware of but unsure of Do-gooders snicker and point wonder why I’m even here So much for secrecy, so much for some well earned alone time I wanted to rest by the white tree have a drink wax idiotic with Dante and Virgil rather that than being cleansed by fire it was just one and she deserved it There I go opening my big mouth again the flames lick my toes as the chubby servants poke with their sticks God damn it I told you I have a thick coat this may take a while so I hope you brought something to read Drink the elixir, pardon the purpose, give me the light and rest bring on Hades make a decision cause I’ve always been torn between the two Not all bad is good and vice versa Book it for the door as the red guy extends his grip I should have tried a different route no turning back now I will not be reprimanded by the mountain on this wing I’m carried back where I belong amongst the hysterical and crying souls of a nameless generation I’m back.... did you miss me?

Complex poetry, which can only make me happy. With the cultures halos. Welcome to the "man with the hat who sits on the clouds"
