The Going Insane

SARAJEVO the going insane Could anyone explain the going mad of someone whom your life's depended on, or how, the sanity, all they have had grows weaker until all they've had is gone? You know their love's been such a part of you but life had reason, it just couldn't stay, and in your heart you know the love was true, it did not end, it only slipped away. To watch, as those you've loved, grow weak in mind is watching death--in all your eyes can see, and helpless, all your hope is but to find their death is not as fast as death should be. It takes a long time knowing all is gone and longer finding reason to go on. © Ron Arbuthnot aka Ron wilson
