Making my jaw clench,
fists clenched
like claws
and Im screaming in my head

no, no, no, no, no, no
oh no.

Bright blue lights,
seeing your face
like a helicopter
hovering
over
me,
covering my hands
as Im
hiding my face
in your chest
shaking,
freezing,
grinding down,
lights coming in
strobe-double-time

oh no, oh no no no no no.

Perscription
induced,
I am reduced to this,
in a bed,
banging
against
a wall,
my heart,
banging
against a wall
and you.
