Psychotropic

Right hook to a glass jaw.
Reason crumbles and falls away.
A failure of epic scale,
as we surrender to emotion.

The heart is psychotic
and beyond understanding.
Only waiting brings healing,
No tears will do the task.

Fireworks are pretty,
but are mere distractions.
They say there are drugs
Which serve the same purpose.

Please forgive my eyes
and my overplayed hand.
A stretched out neck
Has beckoned an axe.
