Naked knees. Broken toes. How am I supposed to feel now. Were this world yours. This life your own?
Every cuticle assigned a color. A piece of the vase. Without roses. Or leaves of green. He knew I knew, but not how much. A child with one firefly in her jar trying to see. Watching it die as I wait for the sun.
I could match his indifference so well that I almost believed that was our connection.
My child. Myself. Spilling from my womb. A hemorrhage of trust. Pooling so blue under cover of flesh. And splintered bones.
What I have loved. What love has given me. So many drugs with a rainbow of arbitrary names. Liquid, pill and syrup. Friend, lover, enemy.
Regardless.
The dosage remains the same.

Better living thru chemicals, hugh? Nothing like adding to the haze...
well, i like the haze. but it was actually an analogy equating love and such type feelings to those 'bad' drugs. especially dependency and lust.
everything we really want is a drug when you look at it close enough. if it weren't we wouldn't want it so much.
