My Asylum
With every passing day
sweet delusions of you
stroke my fragile psyche
you make me so paranoid
the men in white jackets
are always coming for me
Doc suggested a lobotomy
since hypnosis will never
successfully separate us two
Your loving drives me crazy
I converse with the strange
voices in my head about you
You have me crossing lines
beyond the edge of madness
as your kisses leave me numb
Doctors say I’m a case study
they refuse to acknowledge
your sweet love is my asylum.

WOW!! JUST WOW!! One of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITES OF ALL TIME!! DAMN!!

Do you think I would lie to you? Yes I’m serious. I LOVED this the first time I read it and every time I have read it since. I think that the crazy is very mutual between men and women. Embrace the insanity! xoxo

I really enjoyed it too, this guy truly has talent. I’m hoping he will comment on my stories, because they really are touchy issues, we’ve got topics at gastradamus ranging from obese women suing KFC, talks about Abe Lincoln, there’s rumors flying around about Tobey coming back as Spiderman, there’s even people complaining about owners not picking up after their dogs droppings. Please if you would check out my blog at Gadtradamus. The blog is taking off and you can be part of this rollercoaster ride.
