The choice

    The world has changed
    As we arranged
    That she would come that eve
    And when she did, it born the sight
    That left the trace of dying light
    And cut through all my kef,
    
    We did perform
    A total storm
    Around the kitchen space,
    To target her I threw my plates
    As we were driven off the gates
    That bound the human face,
    
    The broken night,
    The wall inside,
    The glass that I did thrash,
    Our cries that filled the lovely air,
    And catharsis of my despair
    Emerged in psychic mash
    
    Of songs of fate
    Which spirits played
    To bloom inside my head.
    The sound was made with my guitar:
    "There's no her! I must be far
    From where my sun has set!",
    
    The attention bright,
    The scene, the light,
    The rest I ever felt
    Are left behind the bolted door
    As in that world I sought for more
    Than all the helms I held.
    
    I played the beast
    To make, at least,
    The only feeling strong,
    I made her suffer by the sights
    That I have filled with dancing lights,
    By things that we could long,
    
    I failed to feel
    And by my will
    Projected on the wall
    The views of places we enjoyed
    And crushes that we might avoid
    Together in our fall,
    
    She dropped to cry
    And when the sky
    Enlightened through the scene
    She took a knife and for our sake
    Five bleeding letters of "AWAKE"
    Were cut upon my skin,
    
    I held my hand
    Until the end
    Of instant mind exchange,
    Within a spectral chance we missed,
    There was no reason to resist -
    It would have made no change.
    
    The psychic sketch
    Of some mismatch
    Was drawn to understand:
    She could not simply leave that place
    Until I got that in this haze
    We'd lost the wonder land,
    
    Disbalanced fade,
    Delirious state
    Have covered us to show
    The broken picture of a mind
    And woeful pieces of delight
    Inlaid in final glow.
    
    The hell is done,
    The doze is gone
    And drugs affect no more,
    I think she was here as I see
    Inscriptions that no-one but me
    Could color with my gore,
    
    There’s no-one here -
    The fact is clear,
    I’m trapped in silent cell,
    Unfinished song can never stain,
    Oh, let me take the doze again,
    I want back to that hell!
