bottles of air

Mush brain, empty stomach

Lifting myself, the day plummets

Walking to run, running to drunk

Day is gone, soul depleting

Filing my patience, wanting

Hating myself, needing you

Itched, scratched, beaten, dragged

Pushing through, minute to minute

Face looks dead, body needs bed

Mind swirling, fingers play with anything

Sheets smoothe, pillow heaven

Thoughts of food, starved by time

Quakes of emotion, left behind

Bottles clear, from their emptiness

Still, there is air, trapped and unoticed

Corked and done with, Sealing me in

Silently on the cement with the other bottles
