the darkside of insanity

By thecitymorgue

the long night of winter surrounds me.the darkside of my
insanity has become my reality.deserted by friends and
relation i am alone in this cold.and how ever often i may try
to find some light, it will not come.and so i embrace the
cold and the night and the darkside of my own reason as my
only friend.alone are we and one.if i call and cry and pray..
it will not come.if i work from sun up to another day..it will
not come.if i become a slave to method and reason..it will
not come.if i give all i have to another..still,it will not
come.if i make love to a beautiful woman in great lust and
perfect longing..it will not come.in all promises,in all deeds,
in all sincerity,in all i do..still,it will not come.it will
not come.only this dark and this cold,and i.alone are we and one.

We blame society, family, lack of love, hate...anything, because we have forgotten that the answer is inside. i was cold for thirty years until i found one warm spark and, blowing upon it to furnace the fire, banished all the winter within me...thus, The Widow Frost. i've seen the answer to the puzzle, yet no one believes me. So it is. You have it pinned down here, tho...nothing will make it come.
