Neurosis

She laughs, She laughs
A harsh roar
And she cringes
Scratches at her ears
Like a trapped animal.

She cries, She cries
A piercing wail
And she chokes
Rips at her eyes
Like a haunted witness.

She screams, She screams
A horrendous howl
And she sobs
Pulls at her hair
Like an anguished mother.

She shakes, She shakes
A tremulous shudder
And she gasps
Grabs at her heart
Like an unrequited love.

She dies, She dies
A cold silence
And she sighs
Clings at her soul
Like a dying mind.
