Addict

The shades are down
in the windows to your soul
You can see me
but I can't see you
somehow that doesn't seem fair

You told me me
life is but a series 
of headaches, heartaches, and back aches
followed by a slow, painful 
and undignified death

No need to sugar coat things
where are you now?
by the way
I don't want to know
why you always wear long sleeve shirts

pull that confusing little string
let some light in here
open the doors
It smells like living death
when was the last time you ate?

Oh never mind
never mind
forget it.
I'm going to the park
