Poetry: Without love

by K.L. Cain

Created on: November 10, 2009

HOLLOW AS A HEROIN NEEDLE


We could be each other's detriment

I said and you knew what I meant

Now I'm left here by you to die of cold

A slow, bitter death with no morphine in the end

No drug to quell this pain

I shut myself down to bear this cross

I take a breath and sever my loss

Please don't pull your knife from my chest

It's the only thing keeping me from bleeding to death

Don't pull your poison from my veins

My new drug is this g*ddamn pain

You're a liar, you're nothing but evil

You're hollow as a heroin needle

This pain consumes me, wounds me yet

I cannot let go of what I love

So I'll take another shot of this drug

Slip into oblivion, watch destruction loom on my horizon

I can see the train coming, but I turn away

As always I turn away
