Something touched a nerve.
Felt it like a shock.
From my head down to my soul,
something set me on this road.
Woke me from a perfect sleep,
where everything I need
was provided to me
by my phone and on TV.
Now, I want more.
Something broke a vein.
Come and feel the rush.
Used to think I was insane,
until I felt the touch.
Something embraced my soul,
didn’t know what it was,
but it was so much more than me,
and so I called it “God”.
Now, I want blood.
Take this life,
this exquisite moment,
stretch it out
to cover all of time.
Love is like a drug,
an almost perfect torment.
It rushes up into our minds
to make us blind,
but there is a love
that makes us see.
It’s not the seductress
that draws us in.
It’s a tiny voice
in the dark,
bearing the only light within.
It will make you question
who you are.
It will make your lust
dry and dull.
It will show you
how this world will fall,
and tear the veil,
so that you can see past it all.
Something woke me
from a pleasant dream.
Try as I might,
I couldn’t scream.
Eyes open wide,
now I see.
None of this is as it seems.
