High. Snatching much and saving you nothing, Illegal doses petrifies your everything, Gone down the hole somewhere in space, Never to return, it’s your mistake. A touch makes your recoil, a kiss maker you shiver, A verbal abuse nearly kills you more than forever. Busting through the pedestrian’s visions, Screaming out vague emotions, Landing beside another creature in another alley, Life in plastic secretly displayed, tempted to see. Out pours the green river, and in flows the venom, Released and free, vigor failing and fallen dumb, A crisp sigh and echoes of endless coughs, You won it all before you know what you’ve lost. Returning into her arms, falling half the way, Dejected by your sight, she cries in dismay, Clumsy words to tell her how you feel, Mutated by some substance, now something surreal. At the cost of her, you abandon yourself, For her to care, you scream for help, In another corner while you sleep or pretend to so, She lies in another, crying, broken, torn. What love shall describe what you feel for her? What fear shall explain pain and nausea together? Which color is ruddier than your blood? Which moisture cooler than winter’s mud? In shackles it binds you and draws you close, This torment and cure, scared to be exposed. She only knows from the outside, but the vain pleasure she forgets, She can only feel sorry, while you feel torment. But who can blame your helpless love, your only one? When you remember how you had started for fun, And all those days that followed you right behind, Now voices of friends and fallen family fill your mind. What a coward were you to run away? To try and build a home, when you wouldn’t even stay. So relapsed you back to the wild addiction once more, Dying, now, you know, burning, just like before. _____________________________________________________ comments please
