Two fingers of Scotch
Hits better

Ever did

Numb Misery
The drink calls for me
Whispering calming release
The bitter always present
An attempt to hide with sweet
The cravings will not cease
Desiring for the anguish to relent
Her voice, once strong in memory
Fading into my own, holding on
To the honeyed words spoken
Once to be light and feathery
Now to be labored and gone
My spirit feels so broken
Do you know what she would say?
Every holiday when asked
What gift she seeks?
"You" she'd convey
"In that dress" said at last ...
Whispering calming release

Desiring for the anguish to relent
Her voice, once strong in memory
Fading into my own, holding on

Now to be labored and gone
My spirit feels so broken
Do you know what she would say?
Every holiday when asked
What gift she seeks?
"You" she'd convey

Pills
Felt real bad
Couldn't carry
The overwhelming
Pressure
On my own
Anymore
So I started
Popping pills
Thought I'd feel better
But I really don't
Oh, what is there
To do?
Pop some more
Drug my brain
Until I can't think
Anymore
Oh no
There must be
Another way
To do it
But can I
Really do it?
Am I stronger
Than these thoughts?
"Don't give up"
Said she
And I'm really trying
If not for my sake
Then for yours
Couldn't carry
The overwhelming
Pressure
On my own
Anymore
So I started
Popping pills
Thought I'd feel better
But I really don't
Oh, what is there
To do?
Pop some more
Drug my brain
Until I can't think
Anymore
Oh no
There must be
Another way
To do it
But can I
Really do it?
Am I stronger
Than these thoughts?
"Don't give up"
Said she
And I'm really trying
If not for my sake
Then for yours

Burning
What are you burning
I think it's your soul
You're breathing in smoke
That won't fill the hole
And when you breathe out
Your chemical pain
Your heart is still bleeding
Just numb from the pain
Emptiness comes
You know it so well
The hour of nothingness
Then breaking the spell
Dead ends and grey roads
You've been here before
Run whil you still can
Then run on some more
Escape this distraction
It doesn't exist
You'll get back the love
The love that you missed
...

penniless in Le Havre edited stuff
Penniless in le Havre.
In the time of my nadir penniless in Le Havre
in the drizzle, I saw the blue neon light of a bar
I met sailors from my country
they gave me cigarettes and wine
also money so I could take the train home
thanks to the generosity of the poor
I had a pencil and a block of paper and tried to
collect my thoughts of what I was thinking.
Found I was more educated than I thought
that is what reading a thousand books does to your brain confuse
you to believe that you are better than others.

a lucid haze
My bedsheets smell of
lavender and indica
silk pillowcase a cushioned ocean
for my restless mind
that floats through the dark
unseeing and unsleeping
I'm nowhere in particular
if I wait for the dawn I might see it

Loss
Loss of youth
Loss of truth
Loss of innocence
Loss of consequence
Loss of control
But what hurts most is
Loss of hope
Loss of truth
Loss of innocence
Loss of consequence
Loss of control
But what hurts most is
Loss of hope

Drugged Up & Ready To Die
Your mouth says one thing
But the drugs say another
Why don't you sober up
And spend more time with your lover
The milky way is vast
Search for wisdom or hang yourself to dry
You should have pity on your soul
Pull the pins out from your eyes
The candle blows out
May the sky burn up in smoke
You give everyone an ulcer
Such an asshole, such a joke
Say cheese scumbag
You were once loved but now we all hate
I'd love to cut the disease out of you
Have you thought about your fate?
But the drugs say another
Why don't you sober up
And spend more time with your lover
The milky way is vast
Search for wisdom or hang yourself to dry
You should have pity on your soul
Pull the pins out from your eyes
The candle blows out
May the sky burn up in smoke
You give everyone an ulcer
Such an asshole, such a joke
Say cheese scumbag
You were once loved but now we all hate
I'd love to cut the disease out of you
Have you thought about your fate?

A Woman's PMS Pictograph Poem
She loves her husband
He drinks, he's depressed, confused
He's hurting himself
She's enabling him
She draws and doodles
Love!
Square box with curly-ques inside
Stylized Love LOVE!!
PMS PMS PMS PMS PMS in shadow box
Box, then box with crosshairs
Love, Love, scratched out, scribbled over
Bunny picture
Bigger bunny picture
Fill big square with with little loopedey loops
Big checkerboard square
Small checkerboard square
Let's go home
I'm tired
He drinks, he's depressed, confused
He's hurting himself
She's enabling him
She draws and doodles
Love!
Square box with curly-ques inside
Stylized Love LOVE!!
PMS PMS PMS PMS PMS in shadow box
Box, then box with crosshairs
Love, Love, scratched out, scribbled over
Bunny picture
Bigger bunny picture
Fill big square with with little loopedey loops
Big checkerboard square
Small checkerboard square
Let's go home
I'm tired
