The Last Time
she tells me I’m too high
then lays on my chest
listening to my heart beat
I say its ok, I'll be fine
I suggest another line
as I kiss her neck and
set up rails on my desk
she nods as clock chimes
this will be the last time
I tell her, I’ll quit, I promise
she gets up to pace and
asks me to pass the wine
then, I hear her sigh
how much is enough?
she asks, too much?
all I can tell her are lies
she implies I want to die
then gets up and rushes
to find her clothes while
saying to take this as a sign
I can’t stay on cloud nine
she cries, I’m so sorry
No, I reply, I am sorry.. Go!
before you change your mind
then lays on my chest
listening to my heart beat

this will be the last time

Hey Rainy!
Love the title. It says it all. The struggle to keep it true and knowing you will end up caving.
I like how this begins. She wants to believe you but somehow comes to the conclusion to get off cloud nine.
She sounds scared in this. Not just of an over dose but everything - to believe him.
Has that Rainy trade mark vibe amigo:)
Have a great weekend!!

Thank you for the in-depth read and really looking into it and trying to figure out the deeper meanings. You are pretty on point with your analysis. As always I appreciate you taking the time to read it. Oh and I have a style? That’s pretty cool! Thanks again!

Oh and I edited it a bit so if you want you could re-read it again and tell me if it’s a little smoother now. If not no worries
Re: Re. The Last Time
Honestly - for me - yes.
There was a lot of punctuation.
It reminds me of when I first got here.
You suggested less punctuation in one of your comments
of my earlier stuff:)
You were spot on. Much smoother to read.
and yes - you have your own trade mark style:)

What a heartlet musing to pen my poet in regard to highlighting the downfalls of being in love with someone who uses drugs to survive their existence, or the person who is co-dependent on someone who abuses drugs.
The only help a person can ever give themselves to stay clean is to be open and honest and admit the problem to self first, and then seek to get proper mental counseling for substance abuse, and that feat of endurance is to keep them stable and clean, whereas they can thrive on their own accord and then can become a testimony to someone else who is having a difficult time coping with society in this relm we call life where they believe drugs is their only outlet
Thank you for such a blatant poetic confession, my poet

Thanks man I appreciate you taking the time to read it and I'm very glad you enjoyed it because this is one of those experimental poems I really wasn't sure about so it's nice to see that readers are enjoying it. I'll have to check out some of your work and return the favor.
