The Yellow Pill

The colours of life
Surrounding me
For the red of love
and the red of blood

My eyes see passion
But my mind is numb
My ears hear affection
But my soul is incapacitated

A stoned effect
Looks over my shoulder
Causing me to feel nothing
Nor feel my emotions

The broken heart
Tries to beat
But all in vain
For despair is still a friend

The yellow pill of sanity
Keeping me alive
As the mind slowly withers away
Leaving behind an empty shell.
