Linda-Marie Sweetheart Poet Rhyme

Emotional Meltdown

   "Emotional Meltdown"



Slumber ... refuses to invade my warm bed
as I listen to promises swirling in my head
to an  emotional meltdown ...
in the mirror, there stands a clown ...

Dreamland ... eluding my starry eyes
as I wander in sad masquerade disguise
to an emotional meltdown ...
as I destroy white wedding gown ...


Forever ... you offered forever, 
and I believed you with fire in my heart,

Eternal ... you whispered eternal,
yet your jaded love quickly tore us apart.


Betrayal ... is an ugly and unkind state of mind
sharp as a dagger thrust plunged from behind
Sleepwalking shall never end
and illusions pretend
midnight amends my emotional meltdown ...


*For Craig Cornish's Sleepwalk Contest.
*Lyrics written to Sleepwalk melody.
*Oct. 5, 2012.
