I’ve been going crazy
Ever since
You up and left me
Leaving me high and dry
Watching Sanity
Waving gently goodbye
Harsh is the blade
Of indifference
Making all the difference
Cutting whispering throats
Leaving behind memories
Of long lost wailing ghosts
And heartless cruel hosts
Of laughing
Jackals and alligators
Singing psalms in the moats
Around the castle
Of misled expectations
Guiled and gilded
Appointments of disappointment
Leaving salty ointment
To salve
The wounds
Of crushed entitlements
And long lost titles
Of crowning achievements
Of gold belt buckles
And broken fleshy knuckles
Of sweat stained wrestling ring turnbuckles
Or scratched records spinning under turntables
Of the electric whining ratchet of the tattoo machine needles
I’ve been going crazy
Ever since
You up and left me
Leaving me high and dry
Watching Sanity
Waving gently goodbye
