SPINNING by Rosella Gómez

why does your touch hurt so
why dose your voice sharply accuse
why do I feel like I am drowning
in a sea of darkness where your soul dwells
I am transfixed by the waves of madness
that keep me steady in vertigo spinning
So I dont see the insanity all around me
it feels safe it feels comfortable like me
when I put my foot down and the spinning stops
I am startled by what I see all afround me
what I thought was normal what I thought was comfy
was anything but safe anything but normal
the rooms were filled with many sharp objects
and my body was was dripping with bloody wounds
I turn around and see you standing there
with bloody knives and whips of razors
and a look I have seen before many times
an emptyness inside me raises my foot
and all seems well again I cant stop the spinning
