Dear Boyfriend,


          Sweetheart,

23rd day in hell

and I'm under some spell

I swallowed their pills.


          Sweetheart,

these days that are left, I count

every knife's a way out

every rope: a noose.


          Sweetheart,

this place is frying my brain

I punch these fists into the steel

 but there's no escape 

from these cold bars.


          Sweetheart,

this could be our final goodbye

they could poison me tonight

or stick me with a needle 'til I close these eyes.


          But sweetheart, 

I still love you

no matter what those drugs do

no matter  how they tell me to live and think and love

I still love you.


                                          Your dear Boyfriend
