Evelyn Collins Poet Free verse

Withdrawal

Yellow eyes and nicotine patches 
Screaming goodbye 
Losing yesterday's matches 
Forgetting that
I
Am
Not
The
Same
Shaking arms hurting elbows tingling face
Numb. 
Changed. Changing. 
My skin would disagree.
Carve scratch cut bite pinch 
Burn twist writhe 
Agony agony agony agony agony 
I will scream your name into the sea
Forlorn forlonging greet me 
Greet me
I damn you, God
Greet me. 
Never enough 
Never
Enough
Never enough. 
My stomach is twisting and vomit rises in my throat.
Cigarette ash drops from shaking fingertips 
Tears drop from haunted, window wide eyes
Spiraling through withdrawal 
Again
