Poem: Humanity

Oh, Love of my life where have you gone,
Is this over like every favorite song
Sung by the voice over the radio
The notes follow wherever you go
But where am I when you’ve left me
My eyes are straining against the sea
The waves are crashing against my brain
My head is pounding, my heart is insane

The four walls are dragging me down
I can’t stand up when you’re not around
I’ve looked high and I’ve searched low
But I’m not sure if that is how I’ll show
That I wish you were still here somehow
I’ve lost sight of you and can’t hear now
The waves crashing inside and around my brain
The silence drags on and is slowly turning me insane

I see the shape but where is the life
Is it all sitting on the edge of the knife?
They look so pretty as they sit in a row
They stand facing handle up against the foe
But is it hidden in the rows of steel
I wonder this; I wander is it ever real
Like the waves crashing down on my brain
Slowly growing, the tide ebbs to make me insane

Let’s hear the refrain
Echoing into our pain
The waves are crashing and destroying my brain
When will you, like me, begin to be driven insane?
The waves are crashing and eroding my soul
Can we cross this; we divide to take on the role
Of the waves crashing in someone else’s brain
Until we are all slowly driven completely insane
