"What it takes to come alive.."


We definitely fell in love, in
one of the most hopeless places ever
Bringing you your only appetite, 
sitting next to you as you nodded out onto my shoulder, drooling 
on my blouse
Spinning, my head never stopped
I awoke and was where I was not
The others had scattered and there I was
In last nights clothing
I couldn't keep up, I didn't want to
Not my forte, no, please, I don't want to
I puked
crackers were given to me
I became sick
Sick for you, more and more
allowing the disease to spread rampidly throughout my whole being
So close, so far
Our skin cold, our bodies alive
If you even call the lifestyle anything other than prisoned to death.
Reoccurring trends of bathroom visits to purge the little left inside me
Only to walk back into a room where it all had to be done again.
I slept, or
so I thought.
I was lost
Lost in a trance where I'd never wanted to be.
Slowly, I lost control and awoke with a sudden crash in life
No one could help me, there was nothing they could do
Only I.
And I did.
Resuscitated, now I awake to Life.

  1. Very strong work, tactile and effective. You often write about finding hope inside despair, and you're quite good at it. Is rampidly one of those made-up Natalie words? Lol. Sort of a combination of 'rapidly' and 'rampantly.' I like it. Keep going, my friend.
