Liquid hunger screams from my veins.
Acid leaks from my lips.
Agony drips from my head.
Dry, my knees crack and cave
as i fall to the stained carpet
my arms emancipated and bruised to the bone
tremble
as i struggle to steady the heavenly needle.
filled to the brim with sweet sticky black nectar
ready to melt into my veins
and bring my body to the brink of pleasure
before i crash and burn in a pile of vomit.

Elegant ending i know.
But this trip down the endless winding road of
hopelessness
has dug a deep hole in my heart
shoveled out the pieces that cared,
that dreamed,
that loved.
Left me with a cold, hard stone cut and broken.
My empty eyes hold no resolution
and as my head trembles
and my tears turn my vision to a grim watercolor painting,
i nudge the needle deep into my skin.
Piercing muscle and bone,
I dig for
sanity
pleasure and
escape
out of pure
desperation.

A lady dripping journey to lessen my mind to what it's worth,
Nothing.
