Losing Your Mind

Folder: 
Loving Tributes

Your lighted passion

used to blind me,

but now your mind flickers

amid maddening thoughts;

I can’t watch you

fade away.



These padded walls

contain the whimpers

no one else hears;

I won’t wait for your voice

to become only

an echo in my memory.



You’ve confined yourself

to straitjackets,

assuming that because

they fit you well,

you are supposed

to struggle alone.



You’re insane

if you think the world

can live without

your smile.
