sexual healing
gone awry
medicine that did me good
leaves me sicker in the morning
calling for the next full dose,
exhaustion keeping me from needed sleep,
sleep ousted from its comfy bed
by struggles meant for wrestling mats
I say,
this doesn’t feel like healing
the more I take, the more I crave,
doped up on this dependency-like drug
I down a bottle
and run straight to the pharmacy
to beg for more
