chemical taste

This sickness is poisoning my veins,

Ruining me from the inside out.

And my mind has betrayed my trust,

Faith has been lost once again.

I crave what I have lost,

My stomach whirls,

And my lips still taste like death.

The deadly chemical won't evaporate from my mouth.

My head is buzzing with flies,

Thoughts ricochet all over me,

The flashbacks won't seize,

And I'm crumbling from the pain I had caused.
