The throbbing is almost blinding I’m up In pain starving & alone It’s not the pain I can even be happy alone (some days) It is the starving Not for food Not Well not for just anything Today would have Would have been Been No Is Is 1 of those days Where I’m starving Because of you Yes You It’s just the ideal I tell myself The easy Oh so easy thing Because of what I did I do Do to myself some nights Thank someone Anyone Because it isn’t Isn’t ever going to be Fire knives guns & drugs Any more Try as I might I am going to be A statistic Some place They will have My box And I will just Check in Just not like today Not one of these days When I’m starving For you When the gaunt look Is rooted on my face When my decisions Have been poor (“aren’t they all” you gently chime in my mind) I prefer the old way A lil’ salve & the The fire knives & guns Disappear Ominously Obviously It is one of those     Days
