Lost Again Poem by Joanne Kearsey

Deafened by the whispers of insanity,
Called by the voices of death,
I wish they'd leave me alone for once,
So they can't steal my very last breath.

Blocking it all out with my hands to my ears,
Walking away from the voices that tempt me to hide,
Shivers running down my spine in guilt of something I haven't done,
Built up with secrets of everyone but I have you now in which I can confide.

I threw my heart away to learn how not to feel,
Letting it drown in the water beneath the bloody moon above,
The stars shine brilliantly as the tears swallow my every word,
But because of you I have learned how to love.

Paralyzed by your beauty as your words captivate me,
I have become lost again but this time I have you to hold my hand,
Infected by your passion, I long for your touch,
Whilst no-one else hears these screams of insanity you are the only one who can begin to understand.

Doubting the words of my own mind and killing the truth of misdirection,
No master of a slave that doesn't exist as the king is finally overthrown,
Escaping reality once again to find peace in you,
Walking in time beside you as in body and soul we have together grown.
