pills

poetry

taking pills into my (mouth)

hands

i count the stars i (could)

have placed in your spine

‎

i wait around

for views i have of (you)

things that don’t get me in a bad mood

‎

so now it’s all diagnosis

and taking pills and waiting

for you and hoping not to hurt

you and not to hurt my feelings and

crying and waiting for you and

waiting for myself

(to feel okay)

‎

i keep you where i can reach

and then you get out of my sight

‎

then i pull myself out of my dreams

and place me in reality but then

i get trapped in the real world and

you have to put me to sleep

again

‎

(and again)

‎
