Mar 2020
Red wine and lye
In sea salted bathtub
Candles glimmer as I imbibe
Liquids made to wash
Away the dirt and grime
And poison blackened sadness
Built-up in veins over time
Bleached bone-white skin
Sipping ammonia with lemon and lime
Takes my pain away
In sea salted bathtub
Candles glimmer as I imbibe
Liquids made to wash
Away the dirt and grime
And poison blackened sadness
Built-up in veins over time
Bleached bone-white skin
Sipping ammonia with lemon and lime
Takes my pain away
This poem was written in late 2012 after I struggled with depression that would somedays put me into a catatonic state for days at a time. Some times the horrors of life need to be expressed in words so you can begin to digest them.
