"To My Sweet Insanity" by Astra Dei

I am disgusted. Every drag.
Every horrible inhalation echos the inevitable.
And the taste. Black weeping lungs lingering on my tongue.

I am dying. every deity damned day I live.
Body numb, but for the tingle in my finger tips.
Hazzah for existance.

I am left alone with sweet Insanity for company.
And of course Regret. Show me the sickly beautiful.
Blue and white strobe lights pressing through the smoke filling my head with memories.

When we were kids we layed on lawns of emerald blades
Listening to mocking birds and jays
And in the fluff of water in air we saw cryptic answers.
Even Luna showed us God's own face.

Now I shake with terror for the inevitalbe dreaming.
Drowning the wind with tears so it can not carry to your ears
My wails. My uncontrolled screaming.

Let's light another cigarette and raise a glass
To Alone, to Regret, to Insanity, to Societies finest.
May we all be reduced to ash.

this is breath catching, visually and in thought, flowing with a distinct hard edge, i'm stuck between raising a glass and just taking this in with tears..... so well done

Fantastic poem especially the 4th stanza with its description of mist as "the fluff of water in air." A classic, 'how did I go from happy childhood to this?' poem.

That last line was a killer; I didn't see it coming, though it seems inevitabe. This is beautiful as it is toxic. You have such a way with words.. you crush me.
