Methadone Nightmares
Traveling down dark allies
in the early morning black
chasing that pink juice
off methadone for three years now
I still dream of my king
forever calling my name
the world still so raw
too bright for a soul
who lived in the shadows for thirteen years
twisting, turning, sweating in my bed
my demons mock me my dose before me
but this time I can't have it
because I came to the clinic naked
other times I get lost down streets I've never seen
asking other junkies the way there they just stare
longing to be cloaked in my numbing pink blanket
I wonder how long I will crave it
seek it in my dreams
a dead end I know
sinful desires setting my soul
ablaze as I fitfully sleep
longing to kneel at the pink throne
of my king for so long
drink down my poison
and know what it is to forget again
the things I've swept deep in my heart's closet
no I will never go back but still I wonder
when do the methadone nightmares end?

I feel you on this one Crimsin.
I was hooked on meth for a while,
(no-where as near as long as you
with methodone), 5 years ago and
I finally hauled-ass to get away
from it.
I guess one day I had an epiphany
of sorts and it slapped me in the face.
But I still occasionally have dreams
of it and cravings even after 5 years.
Definately not urges that I fear that
I will give into but still strong.
It's amazing how something so deadly
can have uch control and influence over
us even after so long.
But a huge heart-felt congratulations to
you and hang in there; it will get easier.
A great poignant scribe... Pan

Oh ms crimson, ever since I came back to du I've been patiently awaiting your poetry to give me a good slap.
because I came to the clinic naked
other times I get lost down streets I've never seen
asking other junkies the way there they just stare
This was so tragically perfect. You're stronger than you realize ma'me.. if you can hold yourself long enough to resist I know you'll be ok. Much love beautiful.

I could tell I stirred up some difficult memories but not of that nature (children). I'm sorry. You seem outstanding...how DID you do it?

I went with suboxone after detoxing, for like three months. I am what the group goers might call a 'dry addict'. Ten months ago I kicked and though I am sober I am in no better mental condition. It probably wouldn't have made a difference but I wish I would have been aware of the psychological toll scag takes on a person. I feel there is no going back, I saw such moral lows and am left unwilling to participate in socialization. I cannot bring myself to infect another human existence with my putrid soul. Ya dig?

I'm sorry you're going through such pain.. I kicked methadone cold and I definitely relate to the socializing thing I have trouble with it too.. I still feel out of place after three and a half years later.. wishing you some peace Crim
