she looked at me-
and i at her.
she said “i was so logical that morphine will balance me out”
that quote from a doctor.
we laughed about it.
we laughed because it was morbid.
here she sat, weak, feeble,
root canals.
bruised.
and we laughed at it.
i hadnt seen her in a while.
but all the feelings came back.
and the knot in my stomach was there.
its permanantly there.
she asked me to sit down,
so i walked out of the building.
i guess its too much to ask for
“my love to turn you on”.
you needed something else.
another fix.
