unhinged 'oh come on. pleeeeease. it's too expensive for you to get hooked on anyways.'

if i'm chewing it, you're not doing it. and you look at me and see a stupid kid that falls for your shit. i know you didn't want to hurt me; you aren't THAT mean. but you have no idea of my life. i hid good from you; we were the meaning of the phrase 'no one really ever knows anyone.' that i used to swallow pills and then take shots hoping that maybe this time i might stop breathing in my sleep. that for months before that night, my tongue itched for sharp round edges to choke on, choking down with cheap schnapps or long islands. more experienced than you know babe, how i tried to tell you back then. and you sat there whispering sweet nothings in my ear like some bad after-school special on peer pressure and drugs. razorblades remind me of coke. small agile hands sectioning, crushing, powdering. i had a taste for pills like my cravings for thai food and crawfish. my special occasion, my vacation. my opiates manufactured in a lab by a man in a white coat. for months i could taste it. don't ask me where my willpower came from. i just couldn't let myself go that far.

'oh come on. pleeeeease. it's too expensive for you to get hooked on.'

if i was chewing it, you weren't doing it. it was a convienent excuse.

pepperdrinks all the mothers in town
they don't even wait til i'm not around
to resent me
their critical eyes through the blinds
are just waiting upstairs
indecision as it's ruined
weighing up all the options
casual meetings
others competing
oh dear mama
what's that you're saying?

you're drawing the wrong conclusion of my intentions

unhinged i hung on by the skin of my teeth


i came so close one night
i was afraid to fall asleep

i could feel the weight of
almost too much
pressing down on my chest


i was afraid to fall asleep




my tongue still itches for it
from time to time
when i am still enough to feel
the dull aching in my heart
