I am truly horribly upset —
a misguided flame,
a moth to the light.
like a shot of *****
the elixir seeps between my lips;
some type of thrill
that makes me feel safe.
Nothing more but a anesthetic
with a bitter after taste
a mistake found a little too late
and a handful of bad intentions .
I am truly horribly upset
it takes seven years to erase every cell
and I am covered in your fingerprints.
