State of Mind

my heart stops as I lost my way
my heart stops in the pouring rain
my eyes go blank
on an image that is burnt in air
my mind is frozen will not go into motion
raising my arm to scratch my face
I have a pulse but it's barely awake
I felt a drop
as I am sitting on the grass
big ol' spider crawling up my leg
my mind is frozen eyes are blank
for an image burnt in air
for sign of life
I move my hand
smash that damn spider
that's crawling on my leg

Yikes. I don't like spiders, was hoping it was all a hallucination! If you are serving spider coffee I will stick with the wine!
