Ophelia and I

Lamenting to ashes

Insanity comes

Pearls lose their luster

Diamonds become rough

Daydreaming within the dark

Hearts become torn

Night terrors appear

Sanity becomes worn

Burning and cremating

Already know what this means

Life is reaching December

Dreams become banshee screams

Losing my mind

As if I am you

Inner voices take over

Eyes are filled with dew

Beguiled to elation

Subterfuge appears

Making me lose my mind more

Causing me to disappear

Lamenting to my limit

Insanity becomes severe

Voices within me scream

As if they are here

Taking toxins to relief

Though they are not enough

Toxins have worsen me

I commence to lose my touch

Emotions have become worse

Losing my sanity even more

I feel entirely numb

Paralyzed under the coffin’s door

Insanity suddenly takes over

Causing me to feel more numb

Catatonia appears in my head

As my skull gets covered with bumps

As I reach to my December

I continue to lament

Lament until winter comes

As I lay buried under cement

Sobbing underneath the sycamores

Weeping underneath the willows

Rainfalls become storms

As they soak my pillows

My eyes are getting stormy

As the black ink rivulets

Egg whites become bloodshot

Until I begin to forget

As the insanity worsens

I begin to lose memories

Memories of my past elations

I become forgetful of my dreams

Weeping and screaming internally

As I fall asleep in my tomb

Daffodils become wilted

When they reached to my room

Demonic voices interfere

Within my night terrors

Causing me to scream some more

As arsenic gets served by cupbearers

Amid Romeo’s and Juliet’s suicides

Hamlet bears the skull

As I remain lying and dying

Panegyrics become dull

As sung lyrics become darker

My panegyrics become morbid

It means December is coming

I resume to lament to my limit

Resume lamenting until winter comes

As I reach to my death

Keep lamenting and lamenting

Until I have taken my last breath

It is entirely over

My sanity is entirely lost

I lay in my coffin bed

Amid its scent of mold and must

I am now Aurora of Sleeping Beauty

Nothing will ever wake me up

No one will ever come to me

They will instead drink arsenic from the cup

Here I am now, deeply morose

On the coffin where I now lie

It is now my funeral

They will perceive me die

I have now reached my December

My death caused by my insanity

Winter has finally come

Here comes the misery and morbidity

Even in deathly despair

I am truly not alone

I have someone with me

Someone who took me home

I cry for her name

Neither Desdemona nor Cordelia

She was incorrigibly insane, like me

And her name was Ophelia

As I lay dying amid cries

I hold onto Ophelia’s hand

The blizzard buried us

Albeit our graves are where we stand

Us, Ophelia and I, in death

We are one in the same

We are forever meant to be

Our deaths caused by being insane
