river

8 1 1
                                    

the water flows
peacefully
the trickle of the stream
lulling me to sleep

the drugs in my system dull me
luring me away
taking me to somewhere
where I don't feel pain

the slits in my wrists drain me
taking my life into
the cool damp grass

I shouldn't fantasize about the river
I shouldn't dream of this place at night

but yet it seems
like the only peace I may find
