Hearts

And i sit here
after work.
my futon so stained with food, bodily fluids
pocked with cigarette burns.
i'm drinking
i just got off work.
eating a box of expensive luxury chocolates that i bought for myself
only because they were seventy percent off.
sorry, so sorry to the unloved woman who received no chocolates
i bought my own. but leftovers they were.
the velvet heart box which i will use to store my collection of loveletters
from prison,homeless shelters and various institutions.
vodka mixed with awful sugarfree blue kool-aid mix.
how did i get here?
the vodka water mix no longer tasted good
maybe/? perhaps?
because i quit bothering with bottled water and just ran the tap
to mix the vodka.
that nagging voice inside my head
it
just
continuesto tell me
that i need to wash my sheets
human filth and waste, urine in my bed
i think that
PERHAPS
people are starting to smell it on me
urine, but it's not my own.
i
just
HAVE NOT WASHED MY SHEETS YET!
i only ate one of the sweets out of the velvet box
the oven is on for the french fries after work.
i won't even get off the futon to put them in.
i guess i'm justnotthathungry
the sheets are dirty.
2 month old dried urine
it's ok! it's all just fucking ok because!
i sleep on the other side of the bed & I don't piss on my side

Thank you

for sharing your turmoil with me, I have had my own and dread ever going back....

turmoil

silence has crept up close to me
its claws deep in my thought
impending doom is all around
depression it has wrought

desires, hopes and dreams are dead
carnage has joined the lot
they’re buried in despair and doubt
expelled into a grot

strange bedfellows these horrors are
insanity runs unabated
as smoke from hell seethes in my soul
my life has been serrated

love turns to hate
dreams to nightmares
all friends become my foes

the gray zone
is my new abode
i’m bout to hit new lows

see en h two en
plus ten h
is poison in my veins

a cauldron boils
this deadly brew
deliquescing my brains

if what you seek is logical
please walk away from me
turmoil has power over all
just wait, and watch, you’ll see

Wow. That's some intense

Wow. That's some intense work. Powerful and personal. The dark imagery fit the theme great. Fantastic write. Peace, NSF
