Insanity Plea

I am a threat to

those around me

because my moods

swing so violently.



They fluctuate

from one extreme

to the other

without warning.



I live among padded walls

in strait-jacketed

hopelessness, confined

to thoughts of you.



I am an insomniac;

I can’t sleep without

hearing the sound

of your voice.



All I utter in

my restless nights

is your name

in maddening repetition.





I must have

lost my mind

because I am crazy...

in love with you.
