the old trenchcoat.

The Old Trenchcoat.
++++++++++++++

Last Night I fell asleep
wearing the Old Trenchcoat
you gave me..

and was transported into
this crazy dream starring
a Jack The Ripper style
Vigilante who takes out
all The Scum.

He led Every Monster
into the Sea.

(to the Beating of His
Crimson Drum.)

+++

Phantom Smiles rained
heavily from the watching
masses..

it was a Rainbow
Storm of False Glee..
incapable of penetrating
the Darker Truth.. that
Vengeance can never
possibly restore what
makes us Happy..
and we All view the
world through Shattered
Glasses!!

(I realized this the
moment My Shadow
Took You From
Me.)

+++

On 13th and Mirror
Street..The Residents
have a saying:

"The best way of
looking at things
is to first assume
Everyone is Blind."

Certain Locals believe
they Worship The
Beast..

Others feel they
are The Saviors of
Mankind.

As for Me..
A Lost Man
who found Himself..
(Alone)

I think
Redemption
is something that
only The Self can
Find!!

+++

I woke up in The
Old Trenchcoat you
gave me..

Screaming Madness
at The Walls because
I tripped over countless
Sad Memories on the
way back through my
Minds Broken Door.

And there You were..
Sweet Angel of My
Slavery!!

Perfect..
even unto
Death.

(Lying Lifeless
on The Floor.)
