Cravings
She gazes out the window,
What little they all know
Her own thoughts attack her
The state she’s in, below.
Cold water crushing down
A sweet and blissful pound
Waves and currents of bondage
Where death is finally found.
Or maybe frozen still
Immobile, loss of will
Craving pleasurable ends
Fate finally fulfilled.
Or oral medication,
The permanent sedation
That bottle they left behind
Became her recreation.
Or maybe just a blade
That’s all she really craves
Smooth, soft penetration
Vivid red colors she made.
For she and I are the same
Victims of self-blame
Plagued by thoughts of beautiful ends,
Desire to cease burns as a flame.
I, too, look out to nowhere
Desire death and crave despair
Stop and think of love for him
And make those feelings end there.
