Dirt Tapestry

Trapped within a web of illusion
The truth of dreams is caught
Spinning on with wonderment
Forgotten all that's taught.

Visions of abandonment
Developed into fear,
Abandoning my one desire
To hold my love so near.

Skipping off to wonder lust
A tapestry of dirt
Pulled into a pool of hate
To scrape and bruise and hurt.

Swallowing the shattered shards
Splitting tissue's sweet,
Chunks of sadness fall like plaster
Thumb tacks in my feet.

I've felt the taste of sanity
And quivered inside my mold,
Over spilling laughter droplet's
Might I be so bold.

Holding on to times that pass
And letting go of joy
I wonder when I'll ever see
Or feel past the plastic toy.

A world that lost me,
And found a foe instead;
I feel the liquid steel unplug-
The faucet in my head.

A bliss of sadness so forlorn,
And blister in pure heat,
Misery has surrounded mist
Encapture, unleash, and beat.

I've watched the wars that
So many have fought
And laughed to tears
Over what was sought.

Casualties of permissive junk
That tumble through my life
That cause my eyes to burn and bleed,
And cut like a butter knife.

Words escape me, what I saw
The tears that invade my thought
And when the bell of churches rings
It feeds what satan brought.

The web of illusion, finally fell,
And what of truth of dreams?
It's still the same confusing mess
That rips insanity's seams.

Save me suffering, bumbling plot
Show my destined path alight.
Fill my questions, gaps, and holes
And scream in the dark of night.

Hold my hand, and my empty head
While I vomit up a filthy mess,
And forgive me my madness and my fear
And fill my body evermore, supreme forgetfullness.
