About This Poem

Asylum Bound

I'm not really sure how to explain 
This strange feeling with my feeble brain-
It's driving me a new kind of insane.

If I believed in love, then in love I would be. 
This bitter, cold heart is set ablaze inside me 
Just hearing your name- I melt at the sound. 
Without you my dear, I'd be asylum bound. 

I'm not really sure how to explain 
This madness taking over my brain-
It's driving me a new kind of insane. 

Well, I'm not quite sure I can complain 
About the thoughts of you that consume my brain- 
They're driving me a good kind of insane. 

If I believed in love, then in love I would be. 
This bitter, cold heart is set ablaze inside me
Just hearing your name- I melt at the sound.  
Without you my dear, I'd be asylum bound.

If I believed in love, then in love we would be. 
You set this bitter, cold heart ablaze inside me. 
I only feel sane when you come around- 
Without you my dear, I'll be asylum bound. 

No, I'm not quite sure how to explain
This strange new feeling with my feeble brain-
But my dear, you drive me perfectly insane.

    All thoughts are empty until you give them your attention. When you have a good one fill it with love and smile. Rock on Michael

    "...a new kind of insane." A wonderful poem. Love is a form of insanity, especially when it is new. I remember... Jack

    What is it about being in love that drives us crazy? I really believe that if it's a strong love, craziness will catch us up tenfold! I really love your lyrics =) <3Lauryn

    Re-visiting this beauty! I love everything about it. I wish I could hear the music that goes with it! Also, thank you so much for my placement in your latest contest and the super sweet comment that you left! :)

    Normalcy is overrated. Loonies take the cake each and every time ;) If you are lost for words to explain what you feel, then I believe that you are quite possibly in love... you have a knack for writing lyrics! Do you play any instruments, sing, or just write them?... just out of curiosity...

  1. Date: 2/27/2013 4:28:00 PM

    Just coming back to this one. One of your best. nothing like sweet crazy love!

    Love, Love, Love, Love, Love and more Love. I don't know if it's true for everyone, but I hardly write about things that I don't believe in. The thing about love is that it doesn't fail. It's the very best motivator there is. I am out of love so to speak, right now, but believe me when it calls, you will be happy to be insane. Great write, and I think also it has a ring to it, could probably be a good song.
