Addict

Sometimes you know that you

were in love, and you had to

let go. Inside a taste, or a smell, some

herb or spice inside the wood

 

of a joining never to have been.

Sometimes, I can only know what my

tears on the tiled floor mean, that I

don’t know, so much more than

 

certainly nothing. Only that

 

I fall, and that hurt is not to feel

anything through. Did you know, there was

emptiness locked out the doors of what

our kisses used to mean?

 

Silent words and my moving tongue

speaking for you. Always and endless, alone,

but no fault of your own. All that you

knew was all you could do and were able

 

to avail. No notion of me holding back

my self restriction and suffocating lovely dearest

aching pains. The push of that drug, rosiette goggles

creeping into every little vein, administration

 

rules to a ********** of theme. I stripped

away the childhood and then the future

of my illusions, staring into the blank, eyes a-wavering.

Sitting on the cold tiled floor, that I am little

 

more than nothing, is all I really know.
