Just Words

That’s all I have

By Nick QueenPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Rampant thoughts

Sleepless nights

Trigger intent

Drunk again

Drown it out

No enjoyment

Harder and harder

Tell the world

Just words

Sympathetic

How pathetic

Apologetic

All poetic

My heart is prosthetic

Give me recipes for enough

Without an audience

Too many thoughts

Drown it out

Numb it all

No thoughts

No feelings

Higher and higher

Hide them away

Smile through it

I’m still a mess

Left with a crying disease

With haunting words

“Better off without you”

“Do something for once”

“I Don’t love you in that way anymore”

A need for perfection

No affection

Separation

Just a distraction

Give me recipes for happy

It’s hard on my own

Self destructive

Unproductive

I admit I am wrong

Drinking freedom from a bottle

To the tune of belong
