Madness Poem by RACHEL ZARANTONELLO

I saved you from your own demise
through madness I brought you through
You proved you only needed me
to use and transfer your pain onto
We are quite intimate
without question or pause
Pain is my constant companion
keeping me encased inside its jaws
It will never release me
I will not ever be free
Pain consumes my entire world
Darkness is all I see
I've become cold & heartless
Can no longer tell what is real
Nothing really matters
No reason for me to feel
In the darkest time I've been alone
the pain pierces through
The price of escape is Madness.
But the madness I've found, is you.
