0215 Wide Awake

Seeing the world fall 
the people failing one another 
I find solace in knowing
that even through life 
we are more than chemical reactions. 

Screaming through 3/8 inches 
of the human skull, 
longing for the rains- 
over the empty manor, 
Followed only by a sickening tapping. 

How cursed is thought...
