Genius checks out

Insanity stands at the foot of her bed,
Watching.
Waiting.

Studying the ache of each toss and turn,
Each tear that falls,
Her dreams wake her,
She grips her heart!

Pissed with God,
To stubborn to call for his help!
Pride is this seasons lesson,
But all she comprehends is a refill of vodka.

On a fast road to self destruction,
She's aware,
But doesn't care!
No distraction to save her from herself.

Insanity is watching and waiting.
Moving in closer
Sits beside her on the bed.

"Never sleep flat on your back
The nightmares began
The demons come in"

No longer does she hear the superstitious warning.
Offering opportunity.

The beauty of insanity leans in,
And gently yet passionately kisses the beauty of genius.
Just before, it rapes her vulnerability.
Numb to the familiar feeling.

Having studied each toss and turn,
There is no move she can make to escape!
Genius steps outside herself
