Bloodshot eyes of a doe, rinsing my face with ***** water
and trying to remember when I told you to walk away. Stiletto nails digging
into my sockets pulling out black strings, waterboarding myself and gasping
like a fish thrashing in your hands, your smile so bright. Open the door,
let me in and help me to my knees so that I can crawl towards you
and wrap my slender arms around your legs, beg for a reprise. Give me this
last chance to remind you that I’d do anything, 45 minutes across town to look at you,
unwashed hair in a hospital bed, pupils dilated out of love and admiration (mania and pills).
My prescription princess, never not on a ****** just another born-to-be-addict,
itching to **** yourself after the weekend, finding someone to use once your pill bottles
all come up empty, and your fingernails are clean of blood.
