Journey into my ill mind pt1

by Jack Nightengale   Sep 28, 2012


Here I sit with a bottle down,
Yet I still here the voices of people laughing as I start to frown.
As I lite my cigarette the room engulfs in embers,
As images of people show that I still remember.

Men and women,
And even children.
They share words with each other,
Then I hear the voice of that old dark mother.

(Dark Mother)
Your time has passed,
Your body is trashed.
Come home to your mother,
To your sisters and brothers.

We've been awaiting your arrival,
Lay to rest, your heart is idle.
Embrace us as you once did before,
Be rid of this pain forever more.

(me)
You are not my mother,
Nor are they my sisters and brothers!
I have my purpose, my reason,
My time has yet to past this season.

(Dark Mother)
I gave you life when you were born,
From my cold grip I gave you heat to keep you warm!
I gave you a gift and I will take it back,
No more mercy, from now on I will cut you no slack!

These flames around you will be your end,
That's one of the reasons why I took your friend!
You are a vessel, a weapon of my command,
I kept you alive with my own two hands!

(me)
You gave me nothing,
Through every surgery, through every obstacle, I over came everything!
Yet you stand before me with open arms,
Promising shelter, promising to rid me of further harm.

(Dark Mother)
You ungrateful...

(me)
Retract your tongue or see it removed from mouth!
You want to see my corpse laying still on the ground?
Then you have to wait like the others!
When that time comes, then and only then will you be my mother!

Remove self from sight,
I grow weary in this late night.

(Dark Mother)
You will rejoin us, you will come home,
And when you do, never again shall you be alone.
Here's a refill on your bottle, on me,
Forever my son, you shall always be.

The images fade as the embers die out,
My cigarette is done as I put another to my mouth.
This wasn't the first time death appeared to me,
As I sit back and think on those old memories....

    We all came from this mistress. And we fight. Our war with the mistress is all we have to keep going. Survival is the hardest war to fight in after all. You didn't give in. You won the battle, but you will never win the war. Such is our Mistress. She may be irritated at you slipping through her reach all the times she's longed to kiss you, but she can wait.

    Thee will rejoin her, she will have you. She's possessive and cruel, a tyrant -- and she will have you.

    To quote game of thrones: "There is only one God, and *her* name is Death. And there is only one thing we say to Death -- Not Today."

    She is my mother-in-law, but not yours. She will love you eternally, but I will not let you have her until I've made love to her daughter unrequited -- for it is not your time yet.

    And now, my cigarette is also consumed.
