Poetry Drafts / 7 October 2016

withdrawal, agony, shame

Withdrawing from you
tumbling towards the void
stumbling on unlaced shoes
pain ^ 2 I scream

the hardest drug
today of days
further farther
stumbling on

1.6.8 days WITH
counting the days WITHOUT
the u in you
passing through Middleton

Withdrawal
Withdrawal
Withdrawal
Sucks.
