I entered, chest heavy with shadows, the scent of sterility clinging to air. He traced my ribs with knowing fingers, his ear pressed to the thunder within. A gentle laugh bloomed between us; "Yours is no malady of the flesh. It is the ache of absence, the hollow carved by yearning’s hand." He slipped me a cure in trembling ink: "One spoon of her Saliva at dawn, her kiss dissolved in twilight’s still, no substitutes to tame such ache." I left, carrying no medicine in pockets, only the weight of his mortal truth she is both the wound and the salve. Note: Some illnesses are sent by fate, and some by beautiful women.

The Prescription of Longing
I have undergone no medical treatment I am crushed by guilt for simply seeing My uppermost ribs sing a song Of immediate doom To a slow death She has taken medical prescription To alleviate the symptoms Of a chemical imbalance An overload of concern and not enough reason Torrents of initiative with no means to begin Too many thoughts and a lack of vowels An excess of syllables and not enough treason He wakes into alarm To walk straight through hell Is that not what this is? The Devil’s layer? I do in fact tell you Hell is on earth His wife prepares him for the trek Through fluorescent threads of fiery sienna This Devil toys with you As if you were bought with money A shiny relic of a body Which has undergone trial reaping no reward A paper doll to be crumpled with request To the ruins of insurance He well knows Your worth was sealed with blood

Items to Forego Security
So much energy is spent attempting to explain the nature of depression. Anxiety and anger can negatively affect family members. The outcome is a dysfunctional relationship. We can’t thrive tiptoeing around these problems. The solution is simple. You are what you eat. An intermittent fasting diet consisting of only meat, dairy and vegetables. Long walks, leave your device behind. I guarantee you, your depression will go away within weeks and never return, when you change your lifestyle.

She is a medicine that I must take in small doses. A prescription that I've hated the taste of since I started it years ago. I can't stop taking it now, we've gone so far together, And I don't want to cause any issues. If I take my medicine more often than usual, She will give me stomach aches. I hate the taste of my medicine, But if I take it every once in a while, it's tolerable, and I don't mind it. Then I think about the fact that I'm taking medicine, And my body aches once more. If I don't take it, I'm full of guilt. If I do take it, I'm full of pain. She is a prescription that will pain me forever

Prescription (Haiku)
Lights haven’t looked like this Since I was in my teens Messing around with my hood rat friends *** and amphetamines I took a handful of Blue Dolphins That were thirteen bucks a pop If we bought ‘em in bulk, I guess As we did more often than not Or maybe a few of the triple stacks Red something-or-others, I think They didn’t work on me this time around ‘Cause I threw ‘em up in the sink Now I am in my thirties And my scripts **** with my brain I know I am speeding my ***** off But at least I feel like old times again

What Drugs Do
Holding the prescription She asked me "Don't I have right to live more?" With the adverse face And the tired eyes Through thick and thin Weakening defenses To feed the spirit Hold on Her skin have seen the past Long live.....your hope for survival Even though life was complex She'll seek What she deserves Simple It will be

You, my personal drug.
you said its what you needed. what the doctor had ordered. picked it up from the pharmacy. it would ease the discomfort, aches, pains, soreness, and finally you would feel yourself again. after all the years of suffering, you could finally love me right. but i don't recall doctors prescribing whiskey in a prescription bottle.

prescription bottles
I'm addicted to this medicine, quetiapine and cynicism. My doctor told me i'll never sleep again. I might as well be taking ****** I made my bed again. You see i've got this disease but these pills will make me real again. Paranoia with no cease to end. Anxiety around your friends. An emotion that others pretend to comprehend. It's on this drug I must depend my doctor said. For that plant you smoke ruins your brain, i'm sure that it was dope that drove you insane. And I say to what end. He laughs then shows me my graph and points out a trend. You did this to yourself, a destructive state of health, now take this pill and get some rest. Tomorrow's a big day for you'll meet your true self.

Prescription.
she recounts her life with the lovers she's had, reliving adoration as she counts them off on her fingers she showcases their best qualities I cannot upstage her I recount my life with prescription bottles plastic and pharmacies the time I swallowed all I had because I wanted to be happy while she recounts, I relapse

I wonder what it's like
Swallowing pills                             again                                        &                                            again Trying my best to get high again on the feeling, drugging myself up to remember the feeling of your lips, your warm touch, and inhale your deodorant, that succulent scent. I want to be sleepless, and think in the night. And be happy, or sad, either one works But I guess I just want to remember I’m alive Happy,              Sad,                      Nostalgia that drains me, happy memories turning into sour nightly thoughts. I think of the dark night sky, and I thought there was once stars in your eyes, yes, maybe. You made me higher than I’d ever been, and I miss you my dear dear happy pill

Painkiller
I was prescribed hot chocolate by a woman who let me cry in her chair on two occasions. On bad days I make myself have a hot chocolate not because they’re particularly my favourite drink, but because having this hot cup of sugar makes me feel like I’m doing something to comfort myself when I don’t know what else to do.

Pills to make your mind feel stable Pills to do what you aren't able Pills to make you fall asleep Pills to keep what you can't keep Little round chalk colored pill I swallow you to make me still Little round unimposing pill Where did you learn such a skill Pills for you on the table Pills to make you feel stable Pills to keep what you aren't able Pills with your name on the label I swallow you one at a time When I swallow you I swallow my mind When I swallow you I will not find any kind of thought to bind Pills to make you feel stable Pills because you aren't able Pills right there on your table To hoist you high upon a cable

A word of advice
Foot steps Bound together In a human race Stimulated, Hunger for change Heralds heaven Muscle relaxed A survivor Aroma of addiction Asked,”how far did you played?” Now, running level two Viciously described Get me a Steroid From those with healing hands Withdrawal symptoms Flooding all systems Begins a new world within

Steroid
Under The rule of law   With a great smile   She plays mathematical game.      Sometime,   Adding,   Subtracting,   Multiplying,   Dividing,   Switching  But rarely,   Stopping      On query, she replied   “You are getting pill for”,   Pain   Sleep   Wake up   Dream   Breathe   Smile   Forget, and to   Live    Disclosure My only drug dealer   My Doctor.

Prescription Addiction
The grip on my disposable razor Is tighter than the grip of my own reality. Reflection distorted by the humid condensation, I still see my hands trembling as I shave. I still see the designer bags under my eyes. The familiar aroma of shaving cream, Paired with the sobering twinge Of the nicks from my razor. The haphazardly spilled pills, Horizontal bottles in the medicine cabinet. White-knuckling the porcelain sink, Decorated with dried toothpaste and the blood of my gums. I reflect to my reflection Distorted by drip drops of tap water, “Am I still myself? Or simply a prospect of my own delusion?”
