Sleeping Pills

Do keep your applauds
For I can do 
without them 
On this day 
I have so little to say 
That thoughts resist 
Thy compression
But do smile 
I adore the fragrance
Of your expressions
Tasteless 
All that I have not seen
Those misenchanted hours 
We so dearly looked forward to
Darkness, my flesh
A midnite sky
In broad day
An indescent delite
Do relieve me
Of this pathetic living 
For I couldn’t
Beg for it anylonger
