Gothic Nights / Steely Dreams

Thunder clap
Bullwhip wrap
Lightning crashing
Push
Pull
Give
Take
Speak
Listen
Words slashing
Verbal lashing

Steely eyelids slamming shut
Silence wraps around me
  settles like lead in my gut

Crumbling walls and my
MadHatter hat sitting atop my
messy head
askew
I look with a wayward glance
for a better view
