Medicine

Poem

By Desmond RazzanoPublished about a year ago 1 min read

My heart is running fast because it’s coming for you.

Only take me once in the afternoon.

I’m your adrenaline, I tell you when your life’s in danger.

I’m your medicine, save me now and consume me later.

I'll be your epipen, and rescue you from a pointless death.

Take me like a shot of Gin, so I can spare you from the pointless stress.

Wish I could take your soul ‘cause it’s hardest to find.

Then I can steal your heart ‘cause it’s already mine.

Please, won’t you let me in, before I die slow in the name of love.

Baby, you’re the medicine, I feel the thinning within my blood.

And you’re quite the specimen, that I’d take thrice in the dead of day.

I felt you in my skeleton, ever since then, I could never be saved.

Disconnect me, diss me, thrill me, why does this seem difficult?

Love me, hate me, kiss me, kill me, and lock me up like a criminal.

Goddammit, this again..went cold turkey, I can say I’ve tried it.

Got a taste of my own medicine, and I can’t say that I ever liked it.

I don’t know what my mind is in, a syringe with my love in your heart’s been injected.

Here’s the danger I’ve been in, you took the bite out my flesh, now it seems that I’m infected.

My mind is at peace when it’s thinking of you.

One dose will not do it, so I’d better take two.

There is no comparison, there isn't a thing that I need more.

I gotta take my Medicine, another action that I can not ignore.

Just as much as I care, I can be heartless.

With all of this love, is a shitload of darkness.

To lose my real self, I could never afford.

Once some things are gone, they’re never restored.
