the water flows
peacefully
the trickle of the stream
lulling me to sleepthe drugs in my system dull me
luring me away
taking me to somewhere
where I don't feel painthe slits in my wrists drain me
taking my life into
the cool damp grassI shouldn't fantasize about the river
I shouldn't dream of this place at nightbut yet it seems
like the only peace I may find
