A woman suffers delusions…

In the darkness a dim light would stream,

the door opened,

her voice rose almost to a scream,

a quick look of alarm

sprang up in her face,

she sensed the harm,

and everything was out of place,

she couldn’t wait for the morning,

as bells went off like a warning,

spirits filled the skies,

there were dark circles under her eyes,

and her cheeks were completely

destitute of color,

fear filled the air with terror,

hopelessness was gathering volume,

tumbling over each other,

then her mind would crash,

followed by a spontaneous flash,

her illusion, her delusion,

became the ultimate conclusion.

    Never sleep with anyone crazier than yourself!

    This poem reminded me of this.
