Sanity Has Flown

I now awake
To another nightmare
A nightmare I could
Never run from nor escape
Clutching my heart in a tight vise
Refusing to release me from its bind

I shut my eyes close
Desiring to sleep
Perchance dream is there
To engulf me whole
Intoxicate me with silence
Distort my consciousness

Yet unseeing and protracted
As my pupils could be
It could neither shield
Nor envision completely
What I had willed my mind
To shamelessly blind and fool me

But no, never
Could my sought after
Be ever grasped
By these puny hands of mine
For sanity had grown its wings
Forever departed from this life
