An Accidental Overdose
She fought daily with the agony.
never knew when it would strike.
It affected all corners of her world
waking, sleeping, laughing, and crying.
Early one morn, she lost the battle.
Through the night she had struggled,
to rid the ache in her head.
She tried them all.
One here and one there,
still...

The Overdose
You have your story I have mine
You’ve lied about more than my allotted time
My fingers shake as I write this rhyme 
Blood boiling quake that’s been so very kind

Tell the world your story, sure 
I’ll only agree that we did not concur
I’ve lied about what?...

Salmon Overdose By An Alaskan
SALMON OVERDOSE by an Alaskan

Salmon, salmon every day
Every time and every way

Alaska breakfast
Salmon lunch
Add some nuts
To make a crunch

Thank you fisher man
My friend
For sharing
Salmon without end

What is prized in cities far
Fills my pantry
Jar by jar

White wine adds a little bite
When I whine I feel contrite
But...

Overdose
He buys his drugs just to get high
Never thinkiing he might die.
He pays his money takes the dope;
He still believes--this is his hope.

He's nineteen, he's really just a boy
He buys his drugs, searches for joy.

He lies motionless in a hospital bed
He's all hooked up; his...

Overdose
A sick, sick woman
She lies in bed
She complains, complains of pain
Pain she cannot control

She takes her pills to ease it all away
However, they do not work
She is given more and more
So much that she feels worse, rather than better

The people they prepare to treat her
But...

The Overdose
The Overdose.


Hey  Mr Depresso
Have an Expresso
Forget about your life
don’t be forlorn
About the Morn
So you lost a Wife…

Think upbeat life’s a treat
don’t concede defeat,
Just take the drugs


Life is just a mentality
Let it be devoid of reality
Let the old shoulders shrug…

One for the road
One for the...

I felt the pain as the needle went in.

It quickly faded as my journey began.

No one could sense the loss of my senses.

Walking the clouds with feet on the ground.

Time slowed down like babies crawl.

My eyelids carried the full weight of life.

Coursing ever down into...

Overdose the Nudge
Dodging bullets now
feel the vibe

No one here submissive
buy protection

Protection gifted to me
delicate shade of difference

Ride the storm
awarded enemy survive
still my memory stain alive

aperture - powerful capture
divine template
aside in minds shrine

my inner child follows deep within
tears fall - fall gently

hands cupped - gently in they spill

Overdose On Your Love
slipping away into your prescence i grab your scarf
only to fall into a pyschic realm where i spin in circles
as a star falls into the night i hear your heart say 
the hell with you i fade ever so closely to the cosmic wormhole
as my...

Overdose
Where is the time you lost
How do you outrun yourself
Can you drink enough
Smoke it down to the filter

What is love when you've lost it again
Who are the demons 
When you play with them at night

Why bother to hide the hate you feel
When the hate just...

She Died of An Overdose
When it all got too much
She would turn to drugs
She could never get enough
the conciquence of he path she chose
No surprise she died of an overdose
She died because she loved a line
It made her worthy every time
The people that she left behind
No solace they can...

Premium Member Melancholy Me
Melancholy me, since Kelly's gone away
Far beyond the sea, and gone from everyday
Stage by stage I've wept, but finally, I see
What I must now accept; a melancholy me

It follows and it looms, a threat to my clear sky
Though never quite consumes, insists that I comply...

Premium Member the day i woke up from my suicide
it was cold, yet hot,
a fever.
i am surprised,
as though I didn't fill myself with poison
just the night before.
my arm is taped down,
attached to an iv,
four pouches of medication seep into my veins
it burns, 
yet any tears i have left have been taken by my father,
crying...

Secret Lover
"Secret Lover"

Fight to live and never stop,
Give it hell till the casket drops,
Break these chains and find my self, 
Shake this habit for my health,
Don't believe him when he lies,
Bitter sweetness my demise,
On my arms he leaves his mark,
Peaceful chaos in the dark,
Silent assassins claims...
