Narcotics
Derived from
***** resonates your skin

Getting sleep at night erases
Bags that drip over the cliff of
Your cheekbones that twisted tour smile psychoactive.

The tissue that lies beneath your skin soaks sedatives
That meditate to the ecstasy seeping Secrets to our family
You missed Thanksgiving dinner last year.

Now I'm sitting in front of you staring
At your veins  blue with blood now flushed with heroine

The holes on your shirt matched the ones between the crevice of your arms.

You shrug me away and
Say "hold on bird"
