Life is a sticky
Honey sweet
Mess
Rotten
Yellow teeth
Haunting me
But not from ****
Powdered dreams
Snorting sinus cleaning
I never did that line
But I was still a ******
Getting high
On time
Pill popping
Pain pusher
In prose and poetry
I tapped that vein
Till no blood remained
Till the **** stains
Claimed my pain
Private person
Open window
The cold wind
Would not let me go
A hundred ephedrine pills
To **** my heart
Cold sweats
Anxiousness
And I could not ***
But worse of all
I could not go
Could not sleep
Could not rest
Could not die
Though I did my best
Teeth chipped
Broken calcium
Black cavity
Shallow but painful
And Vicodin
And Vicodin
Till I had to sell them
To my suicidal friend
And Monster drinks
And five hour energy
To write
To work
To stay alert
But the worse addiction
I ever knew
Was pain
Waking every day
Never knew withdrawal
Every day a brand new pain
Every night a brand new poem
I never killed the ******
He just rode me from one high
To the next
I never killed the ******
Even though I wanted to
I never had the gun
Or the ******
The rope or razor blade
Or the ****
I never killed the ******
Even though I wanted
That son of ***** dead
