The Poison I Eat

You’re too old to remember how children play. You’re too young to forget, but You’ll forget anyway. Seeking, dreaming of blue pills and An old friend who’s on fire. Recalling The moment I found out she was a Liar. Green haze and my best friend coughing On smoke, after which we dip our feet In the pool and let our bodies soak. I’ve loved only once, I’ve had many Friends lost. I’ve paid for my past and Given all that it cost. White cloudy sky, white, thick pill In my hand. It will wash me in its Ocean and spit me out on the Sand.
