Delirious

Delirium when I first open my eyes.

My dreams oxidized, 

Exposed by my conscious.

The haze clears,

Gone forever in an instant.

For a minute I exist in between.

I melt into the sheets searching for solace,

Detachment stings leaving me solemn. 

I’ve forgotten how to be confined. 

Time spent wandering the streets at night

In a world unrefined.

Please take me again. 

I don’t want to feel the pain. 

I want to be trapped in my mind

for a little longer.
