The Fix
Whispering pills remember
Where people and love fail
Lingering in shots and hits that filter
That leave body and mind deranged and frail
Comes about in random trysts
Posing for love though suddenly betrayed
This fascination one has to forget
To go numb makes them dumb with age
Carries you out on bricks
On knees one crawls for a day
The pain wrenching and hunching back
Leaving knots in stomach and so begins the first stages of pain
Just once more to remember, to feel again in one's purest of states
To feel as if one knows how to feel-
To love beyond the lure of a pill
The sanctuary that only a synthetic lover can create.
