Madness

Vacant faces
Cling to ornate illusions
Grey-blue smokey curtian
Shroud of the grave
Denied redemption
Glazed eyes lost in remembrance
Lost in chemical ecstasy
Floating just beyond reality
Buried in madness
Forgetful things
Forgotten souls dying
Yearning to melt with love
Unable to give
What they so desperately need
The outcome
Inevitable
And heartbreakingly final
