AS INSANITY SETS IN

By Darkest_Addiction

i see you in the shadows

in the corner of my eye

every time i think of you

i cant help but wonder why

why the person i love most in life

is the one that drives me mad

as insanity sets in

your face begins to fade

you asked me if i loved you

and i begged with you to stay

but insanity had taken hold

and i had to let you go

you said id never be happy

living life this way

i yelled and screamed

but you wouldnt let me stay

as insanity set in and i was

forced to let you go

the people know ive gone insane

i can see it in thire face

as im talking to your stone

i touch the words written there

"my sanity forever lost without you"

    A lot of really cool things in here. I was fooled right up until "talking to your stone". Great concept of insanity instead of talking about what really happened. Proofreading might be the only way to enhance this.
