Third Left Turn

Shiver
That spasm climbing your back
Quaking down your legs
Collapse
Collapse
No one likes replays
Or a lack of cause
With all the effects
Do you feel like a side effect yet?
Light headed spins
They call it addiction
You call it just another cycle
Another slip
A third left turn
You’ve come full circle
Are you at the beginning again?
Or just reaching the middle?
The torso
Keep clawing at it
Like you will somehow scratch it away

Red mark those hips
They will warn him not to touch you there
Will warn him you
Are damaged
That he
Is holding a problem
You are too overwhelming for his arms
He was never taught how to grab onto tsunami tides
Or how to love mania
He’s stationary
And you’re alway pulling downward
He’s present
And you’re ten steps backward
He’s walking detachment
And you’re always looking for more velcro

No one likes replays
They aren’t fond of walking tragedies
Hobble
Shiver
Collapse
Show them you are broke
Convince them its a problem
You
Are a problem
The monster
Excess
Too much
Overflowing
Spill onto the floor
A mess to be stepped over
But never ignored
Wine stain red gets their attention
They--
He—
Refuse to be renamed into absorbency

No one likes replays
Stand straight
Open your eyes
Smile
Convince them
You
Are not
A problem
You are on a straight path
There never was a cycle
You are the future
He will ignore the red marked hips
Just give i
He will forget your story
There is no story
No cause
All the effect
You are the cure
There exists no side effects
