When the lights flicker out

by Pondering Thoughts Of Nothing   Jun 20, 2007


The bitter taste left in my mouth
The nagging in my brain
Hatred flickers about inside me
I just might go insane.
This putrid feeling left behind
The dirty deed is done.
But behind the thought lingers.
Wishing goodnight to the sun.
Something so petty.
Gone in a flash
but its memories are left within me...
Trapping me where there is no way out.
Locked and away with the key.
While I'm assured the evil is gone
and the triumphant lies ahead...
These thoughts of disgust completely drain me
As I lie restless in my bed.
Throwing things madly about
Carelessly spitting these dirty words.
While this sense of destruction barely seems to satisfy,
It seems that I'm far from cured.
Watching the vase shatter across the wall...
I smile from the rush.
Like stabbing out this undying heart.
Left broken and bleeding... to gush.
Tiny glass bits fly through the air
Sparkling when caught in the light
I grasp for everything,
Breaking more and more....
Insanely laughing late into the night.
After the confusion subsides, and the sun innocently rises,
I seem to feel not empty, but new and whole.
I welcome the happy things to flow on through me
And leave the bad things to far away roll.
