Left Empty
my head is swimming
in an angry torrent
seduced by chemicals
that try to satisfy
alcohol fueled zen
the art of war
sleeping pills relax
the demon beneath
xanax tongue lies
false security blanket
the addict speaks
his heart listens
no closer to calm
or so called release
lucky to get excited
somehow able to get hard
but not for flesh
or luscious lips
chasing a high
that leaves me empty
in an angry torrent
seduced by chemicals
that try to satisfy
alcohol fueled zen
the art of war
sleeping pills relax
the demon beneath
xanax tongue lies
false security blanket
the addict speaks
his heart listens
no closer to calm
or so called release
lucky to get excited
somehow able to get hard
but not for flesh
or luscious lips
chasing a high
that leaves me empty
