Mack Karachekhlian Poet Rhyme

Every Room

Shaking hands, legs covered in blood...
Where am I? 
My vision is a blur, but I can’t unsee you.
Nothing about this feels right.

I hear your voice, again and again:
“Just take the pills, they’ll give you a thrill.”
For a moment they’ll numb my brain.
But it’s two in the morning, 
The tears in my eyes and marks on my thighs
Tell me I still feel the pain. 

The bedroom on Tuesday,
Your workplace on Wednesday, 
The club on Thursday night.
I’m tired, exhausted - 
Can’t do this much longer,
How can you think this is right?

I lie in bed,
Blade in my hand,
The tip to my skin.
Your face in my mind,
Your hands on my chest – 
And now it’s under my chin. 

At my door once more,
My heart picks up at the sight.
My vision blurs, but I can’t unsee you, 
Back in my room? Not tonight.
