ringing my ears
your words like poison arrow
darts shoot into my spine. spreading,
seeping into every vein
infecting the life love hope
that once thrived within. how does
one cleanse the body of poison?
how to fight the numbing effects?
as if ipecac could cure i drink
in great quantities until i realize
no amount will make me regurgitate
that which has become a part of
my cells, discoloring my skin
which shows the effects from years
of soaking in toxins.
darts shoot into my spine. spreading,
seeping into every vein
infecting the life love hope
that once thrived within. how does
one cleanse the body of poison?
how to fight the numbing effects?
as if ipecac could cure i drink
in great quantities until i realize
no amount will make me regurgitate
that which has become a part of
my cells, discoloring my skin
which shows the effects from years
of soaking in toxins.
