Extremes

Reality, a nightmare

Or an impair

You are a delusion

Stuck in my haven

Torturing me perpetually

As I stare at you blankly

A ghost chase

Dead and gone without a trace

Expunge my psyche

That is torn badly

A remote life

 PLAY

Life running swiftly forward

Trying to keep up

PAUSE

Suddenly stuck in a period

In a dark barren land

REWIND

Turning around to see

The flashes of imagery

PLAY

Opening my eyes to the present

To a bright shiny day

PAUSE

Stuck between the walls

Recalling the anguish and the cries

REWIND

Dashing through the black snow

Slipping n falling, over n over

PLAY

Fun and laughter

People all around

PAUSE

Stuck in the darkness of mind

Lost and terrified

REWIND

Footsteps running towards me

Ending in blinding darkness

STOP

Screaming to the reality

Yet another nightmare

Hope

With million words

In 500 dollar bills

A false promise

Gift or curse

Etched perpetually

Vanished into eternity

A Tranquil time

Nomadic state of mind

Living with a spectre

An expired nightmare

Finally ending the desolation

Yearning for future with anticipation

Inane choices

 Chose not to escape

Trapped existence

Inane salt droplets

Sinking in linctuses

Piercing and stabbing

Over and over

Cerise ubiquitously

An ominous shadow

Waits for the last breath
