When I close my eyes
I want to hide in the darkness,
That caresses the constant pain,
For where is this leading?

A bag of grass, and some papers
With a fifth of gin to tag along,
She sings the same old song to me
Words repeating through my soul

"Tell me where your going
Tell me where you've been
Tell me where you are
And I will tell you this

The only thing in life
That leads the rope astray
Is forgiving to forget
Never live in your regret"

Do I make sense of nonsense
Running amuck in wild fields,
Or do I let it sprint to the waters edge
And watch it take a drink

And bask in its revolting glory,
Dismissing the ordinary to leaves in the wind
As they float by my head to a destiny unknown,
Laughing at my insecure thoughts,

At a life less ordinary,
But not worth dismissing
These thoughts in the streams that float by
And I try to make sense of this

As if I can be alone with my thoughts
That keep haunting me till death.
And my last breath shall wheeze
Nothing more than demons.

A sad wind song this is. Welcome to Pips, and hope your time here will be comforting, and hopefully even fun.

Enjoyed eor, I guess we are all being chased by those little guys. Notice I said little. Nice write.

If nothing is something
then everything is
our thoughts and feelings
and all that exists.
