Exhausted
But I can’t sleep.
I am terrified
Because every time I let
My eyelids fall shut
You are there.
A daydream
Once, now you are a nightmare.
Comfort
I can no longer find
In your arms.
You
Clung too tightly
To the bottle and to her
(I bet you thought I didn’t know).
Haunted
As you were,
Now I am haunted too.
Desperation
Takes new form
On the bathroom floor
Pills keep me awake
Keep me awake
Keep me awake.
