Fading
Uselessness hit me again
Will the madness rear its face
My soft cool demeanor appear
Smiles and gentle looks
Twice a week it comes
Comforting those I love
When the storm lays waste to my soul
My inner darkness steps forth
Around the house a loud thud
That all can distinguish
Banging away in my brain
I repulse those around me
Driving them past sanity
Like a car, I careen off the road
It rouses darkness
Mowing down the lovely roses
That I clipped and put in a vase for you
The disgust you feel
I cannot hold you at blame
The demon fires
No water will quench
How I long for my serene
Angelic actions to be present
Only the dirty water drips from my eyes
If only I could meter out my emotions
Then you could enjoy my company
Relish in my delicate nature
But those days of sunshine
And flashy dragonflies fade so quick
