drowning in NOVOCAINE

I wrote this before I went to sleep

 THE CRACKS IN MY SKULL ARE

WHAT MAKES ME CRAZY

THESE THOUGHTS ARE novocaine

THEY LULL ME TO SLEEP

AND WHISPER A GOOD BYE

LIKE A LOVER WHO'S A PARASITE IN YOUR MIND

PLAY HOST TO THE novocaine

IT'S EFFECT ROCKS YOU BACK AND FORTH

YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO TRY

JUST LYE DOWN AS THE POISIN TAKES HOLD

DRIFT AND DRIFT

"THEY SAY YOU CAN MEET PEOPLE IN YOUR DREAMS"

SO.........

"TILL YOU HUMAN VOICES WAKE US, WE DROWN"

SO LETS DROWN TOGETHER I GUESS

Well, the title certainly captured my attention! :)

Is there any particular reason for the poem being in all caps? At first, it's a little surprising, but towards the middle (not to mention the end) of the poem it wears off any shock effect it could have had.

Was "lye" an intentional misspelling?

The poems imagery is very good - the only thing that confuses me is the idea that the crazy thoughts lull the speaker to sleep.

Overall, an excellent poem!
