Burn Waterfalls Down
Save me -
burn waterfalls down,
when I want to drink
or drown.
Pull me back from the brink,
I can’t make it on my own
this time.
I hate the bandages
and the patches slick with nicotine.
Cut the tendons in my legs,
the junkie in the alley
waved to me on my descent,
through the valley of the perpetual shadow.
You are just so pretty
and I’m comfortable with my morbidity
but are you?
I need it to be true,
I’ve no one left but you.
Save me.
