Senses Losing Sensibility

As my vision Blurs Bending signs Melting faces Into other Things I won't recognize I wipe clean All my inhibitions Maybe then I can see again As my voice Cracks Searching Sound waves Into listening Ears I won't remember I clear out All bricks Maybe then I can hear again As my fingers Scratch and Search for More than empty Rooms and beds I won't know again I look for places Warm and safe Then maybe I can live again As my mouth Tastes sour Tastes bitter Words I can't seem To spit out I won't hawk up Them for them I sound out letters Maybe then I can speak again As my feelings Melt and break Stew and cool Dishes pile up So high I won't show any I hope my heart's Not broken just yet Maybe then I can love again
