The calm that never came.
October 23, 2012
I was once a sane person.
The calm before the storm.
The calm that never came.
I am to blame.
I am to blame for the calm that never came.
I saw the blade flash in the moon light.
Like the lightning of a storm.
As lightning strikes the earth.
As did the knife.
Red rain poured from the woman I once loved.
Her body crashed against the floor like thunder from the heavens.
I fell to the floor.
When I woke up, I woke up in a straight- jacket.
A scream sounded from the room next to mine.
"Welcome to Lighthouse Asylum! You'll never leave!"
