wake up
pain is back
now in body and in head
cant think or feel
so numb
the lady in the reeds will bring me peace
get dressed
cigarette
pills
walk
just an old market town
i can feel my brain getting smaller
walk
train tracks
where is my dealer
need a fix
just one long pull
walk
walk
trestle
collect flowers
the lady in the reflecting pool
she scares me now
she looks different
i can see her teeth through her face
must have done something
or was it time?
she scares me
i dont want her to be there
pick up a stone
turn away my head
im sick
i put the stone in my mouth
i chew
i chew and chew
i spit out the splinters that were once my teeth
i spit out blood that was once in my cheek
i spit out the stone
that was once in my mouth
and my dealer has arrived
the lady in the reeds will bring me peace
grab her body and drag it onto the train tracks
i lay next to her clutching her and sob
you know ive always loved you
i know
train whistles
darkness
