unhinged sad_eyes filled with
painkillers
alcohol
pain
pupils dilated beyond the point of tears


the next day he swallowed enough xanax to sleep forever
but the phone rang just in time
it had been so long since i lived with it
seen it
that kind of pain
i was too drunk to recognize it for what it was
and i have a little nagging guilt
for being too caught up in my own bullshit
to pull him out of the hole i saw in his eyes

the kind of hole i lived in everyday
there
swallowing, smoking anything to distance myself from the reality of the pain
we all carried around plain
in our eyes
living_in_a_karmic_hell
that is the industrial_abandonment of all hope

last_night for the first time i thought of the night i watched sam come into the bar in austintown in his uniform and didn't give two shits what the rest of the world thought as i ran towards him; my last night in youngstown before i moved to milwaukee
