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.

In the gnawing acoustics of survival---- Allowing every ounce of stillness...

Cinnamon and smoke; The cologne I taste all over your neck it swims in my mind; Intoxicating; Phantom smells just out of reach, Aromatics; I’m relapsing; Ravenous withdrawal consumes me I drown inside you....

Key lime pie withdrawal Not as easy as it sounds Especially if you are totally addicted. I can walk past pumpkin all day long And not dig into it with a tablespoon. If it has whipped cream, I might take a bite. Who am I kidding? Let’s put it where it lives. If it has sugar, it is mine. And get out of...
