Handling Heartbreak
handling heartbreak
i become dependent on movement
two pints of oreo ice cream later
i retrace my steps on purpose
interrogation light on me interrogated
by me, myself, and i
a bunch of ice cubes in the bed
a hot water bottle on my now bald head
several pills on both end tables
alcoholic dishonesty reluctance
imprisoning myself internally
becoming a clown in my own altered, twisted circus
all the performers traveling through all get killed under the big tent
decay and decomposition poisoning the descending of my previous discomfort
i become a the star of my own world of improvisational theater
handling heartbreak
