I’ve been a slave to labile emotion

and a wanton craving affection;

a raving obsessive for devotion,

a lunatic for devotion.

Ive devored myself in delusion

and wasted it all in addiction.

I have called life a wasteland;

my mistake to such an illusion.

Cared for few in my self absorption;

raving mad in fantasy of protrusion.

Wondering where my friends had gone

and why into oblivion?

So, self consumed I missed the boat

now row alone or simply float.

Someone threw water upon my head

for fear I’d finally gone stone dead.

That’s what happens in a selfish life;

a shadow shell wrapped up in strife.
