17

Lost between the side of the sofa and stuck in my mattress,

under my covers I hide.

The face in the mirror is not me but I’m searching,

I welcome myself with a wide grin, and met by yellow railings

the arms on my clock have snapped and I’m lost for time.

Its break-time and I’m wracking a bomb of speed

The rizla pinched between a pocket made by flesh

Awaiting a dose for all those naughty boys

naughty toys and scoundrels, fiends and thief’s each paired and united

for we stand together with bowed legs and arms around shoulders

standing like soldiers and staring at trees

wet cement and muddy trackies

my reeboks have a hole in them

and so does my head

as I lay on grass staring into the sky

it fucks me

As tears dry my face

a ripple in a puddle

sounding like an echo in a hall

I’m lost and found

As self-absorbed as the words on this sheet

But I long for you to once again steer me in the right direction

Because I haven’t felt much since you left

Just anguish and pain

So I seek the things we need to

And get high when I can

Paint pictures in the evening

That i never understand

Lost for words

But have a knack for the written ones

Always stuck in a daydream

Like I’ve never been in one

A teapot reformed with gorilla glue

Unknown to what’s ahead of him

There will be a time of feeling full again

Just try and stay away from ketamine
