Messed up inside an old tobacco tin
Your love was a kiss of drugged sin

Holding me back in the hotel room
Alluring resonance of insane beats
Plethora of highway signs in flume
Placid serenity of undulant sheets
Yet I had a feeling of kissing doom

Liquor sloshing in the crystal glass
Ice cubes clinking around impasse
Touched by a night life under neon
Thrown in a pool of memories bygone
Lost to self-destruction in darkness
Ends met with beginnings in a mess

Passengers of a wrecked metal train
In the end, you're stuck in my brain
Love, your affection rendered me ill
Little did I know, you were...

my happy little pill

Author's Note

Listening to 'Is There Somewhere' by Halsey, my favourite song by her. 💜

I guess the poem is pretty self-explanatory. If someone's your happy little pill, they are bad for you even if they bring you happiness for a short while. They are bad for you...and that's why you love 'em. ❤

This is my entry for 'November Has Colour' Contest at WP_Poetry. My colour is neon. It always was. ❤
It's an acrostic poem as it was one of the requirements of the contest. Good for me because finally, I tried acrostic too. :D

Did you like it? *-*

Much love,
Hazel 💜
