Blinding Lights

Blinding lights that glue your eyes
shut.
Wanting to see around that corner but,
still standing in that rut.
Swimming threw the quick sand of
your life
seeing no release for happiness
only destruction an strife.
Blinding lights to cloud your 
way home
with a roaring song in your head
and memories of being alone.
Can't remember where the road starts
and can't recall who you are
and the only light you have is one
single star.
Blinding lights that burn like 
flames in your head.
Remembering all the words that
doctor said.
Hold your head an try to stop 
screaming.
Whip off the blood on your hands
"Oh my god are you dreaming"?
Blinding lights have turned into 
bleeding lights of hell,running in
terror trying to find a way out of this 
burning cell.
Walls are closing in and emotions are
running deep
A heart ache of a memory is all you will 
ever keep.
