Delusional

Strapped arm, exposed veins

Longing for that express train

Pick me up and fly me away

A place forbidden, I intend to stray

Drifting through the loosened realm

Hearing voices of morbid sound

Unwinding through this illusory trip

Deceptive antidote may cause me to slip

My body hungers for its addictive feed

My mind shrieks cries of dismal pleads

So longing to visit comfortably numb

Wasted…I’m omitted, the drug I’ve become

Will reality draw me back, somehow

Demons jerk me with indecent howls 

Serenity of this spellbinding state

My own devices, my own world to create

To bring me back is to invite pain

To alert me requires myself to blame

Wasted to bogged skin and skinny bone

Entices me to wander hopelessly alone

Please don’t withhold me from this high

My transfer is not complete, inwardly I die

Loved ones can't understand each passage I roam

Delusional is my destination, my foreboding home
