Been a long night, but a clear one.
--------

Between reality and that futon in the living room,
It was easy to see the second skin of each being
Though mostly trying to climb a ladder of water,
attempting to reclaim a mind once mine
I was troubled by some shadows in the night,
and the icons that lacked pupils
In a pool full of confusion,
her light escaped the grasp of abnormal
This was the only comfort to my senses,
peering through the cracks of my skull
As the beautiful were more beautiful,
and the evil only that more demented
I awoke from a night of the Wizard of Oz,
knowing it is all a matter of time
Hell showed me its nightmares,
and also showed me its angel

This was awesome. I loved the imagery. The "Wizard of Oz" line threw me a bit too, but it's still a very strong poem. Thanks for the read.

We did the ol' "Dark Side of the Moon" to the movie Wizard of Oz, if it's of any info.
