A Sweet Madness Poem by Marlon Tan

A Sweet Madness



I'm sitting here wishing you're thinking of me too
It's been years yet your presence still lingers everywhere I go

I need some distraction, of this silent memory
This burning feeling you've left in me
These hollow memories seeping through my veins
Keeps me grounded, Keeps me sane

I've spent all my time thinking about that second chance
But what I'm hoping for is a lost cause, a dream of a haunting glance

To see you again is another thought from a delusional me
I'm so tired of all the lies, all the illusions that I always see

But I'm finding a reason to believe in this sweet madness
Or be forever basked in glorious sadness
