Panic

Insanity embedded onto you like a wet blanket on a cold night Your breathe sharper than a daggers tip Words seep into you like the kiss of a needle Your mind an unraveling bundle of thread Each nightmare you have you cut the last in your head Help scratched all over your skin Hidden by your smile & crinkled eyes' creases Your cheeks soak up your velvet tears Faster than a white rabbit running late Your body feeding off sorrow to hydrate Sick, rusted blade twisting in your gut Taste your fear on the tip of your tongue Bite til it bleeds the blood your veins rush Touch, smell and feel nothing you see Reckon with your will to fight sanity Guilt trips you down a fumbling hill Where thorns and branches re-open your scars Your blood washed off, falling into an icy lake And tears immersed, yet you choke As water pours down your gasping throat
