slip into a coma
absent of thought
cocktails
mixed with diet coke
lord knows
i should stay away
from white powdery substances
not going to be
too hard on myself
just makes it worse
recover
repent
rinse
repeat
shower my
tangles away
happy
tearful dreams
of children's faces
and toothless grins-
swear on somebody's
grave
not to do it again
fall asleep
hopeful
disturbed
hours before
need to wake up
fears not so much
press
refresh
plan to ignore
it all
but a voice
asks
always asks
what are you avoiding
my friend
and i never
answer
no sadness
just tears
rinse
repeat
