You watch from behind broken glass
me locked inside the bell jar
unable to read between the lines
as all senses become impaired.

you're too complicated and
know that I'm tangled and caught
I took a heavy hit from a dealer
that is far too far removed.

Though we are both detached and spinning
our meeting minds collide
I'm still tilted and tripping
knowing full well your hand is winning.

Every hit is my last
but tomorrow I'll need you again
just sing to me one last time
just enough so that I can sleep.

When I scream and withdraw
you whisper sweetness to me
so I am vexed and perplexed
and I can't remember how to hear.

One foot behind the other
walking back to front
green viens ask me to choose
knowing that I will choose wrong.

Even knowing you're poisonous to love
I am equally as toxic
So while you deliberate and think It through
I will sit and feel It all.

That sounds like quite an addiction.

this is really good, woman. it hits you so in the face that it could be virtually anything, or something more than the immediate meanings of words.
