addict

by @megan-hundley

Unhealthy things crave a cure no, I doubt you need to involve needles or extreme measures, like shocks and straps probably just a fan in a cool room to calm the sweat *I'm sweating up a storm downright unbearable, this heat heavy on my neck. I know there's a breeze, I can see it in the curtains. All these shakes and itches. I need a Trip away* Doctors always exaggerate, right? Assuming what they said about you, being addicted and all. I see them as having lied before. They've scratched at bug bites, can't they notice his arms took the price of red relief, that's all *I hate skin and I hate the color white I hate the way people's nose curve at the tip, like a snag a crook a flashlight I hate the small amount of hiding places and I hate that I can't crawl into the disposal* I think it's because he fell off a ladder at the age of six-cried a puddle and no one said he'd be okay. That little boy just cried and cried and realized he could only fix it by wiping the snot off  and shutting up like daddy said *There was a light I loved and loved said I would take care of it never forget how I felt never never walk away beauty always toward but the light was high I was low I kept digging a hole further I went and further I went* No I'm not a relative, but I knew him once. Decided to stop by, it's been years. When I saw him face down I thought I'd bring him here, never imagined he would get this bad. He used to call me his light. I had to leave, don't you see why? *The wind will take me and away I'll float to the sea to the moon where no one is there no one is there*
