unbelievably unbelievable
like a hit of coke that was mixed with
maximum acid
you fuck me up
(too bad there’s no condom for bad
highs)
successively unsuccessful
like those long nights popping
back pills
praying you’ll close your eyes and
open them again to pearly gates.
you exhaust me.
(and they don’t make 5 hour energy
drinks for suicide patients)
presently un-present
like a dead-beat dad that barely
remembers my name
or a mother on vacation, too busy
barhopping to offer a slight bit of
sympathy
i bleed a little heavy
(but the cloth i use is dirty, i wouldn’t
want infection)
infectiously infected
like my heart that can’t seem to
send any messages to my brain that
have absolutely nothing to do with
you.
you rip me apart
(a little too fast for me to stitch back
up)

fin.
