Painkillers
Breaking into a million pieces
Can’t anyone put me back together?
Drug thru the pain and ache
Once again, you’re my refuge
Holding my shattered frame
Until someone arrives with the glue
My breath quickens as I realize
No one can save me now
The words I swallowed from him
Taste bitter in my mouth
Cutting as sharp as knives
“Protect me!” I scream.
Sweet release as the drug
Takes complete control
I forget for one second
All the rage and pain I feel
Ignore the feel of your kisses,
Of your hands interwining with mine,
Destroying my mind with your words
Broken promises once again
Hold back against it all
Swear never to feel again
Praying you let me go
Knowing I’ll never be free
