Pop the Pill (Free verse) by etherealmaiden
Headache, heartache
Heartache, headache
How can I make them dissolve?
Pop the pill
Pop one more
Pop one just for my heart
The drugs take effect
But the pain is still there
It just won't go away
So I pop the pill
Do it again
Take them just for fun
The headache stops
My vision clouds
But the hand keeps moving
Pop, pop, pop
I'm drowning in drugs
But the wound is still open
And the pills keep coming
Pop one
Pop another
Pop two at once
All feeling gone
But tears are falling
Pain pressed to the extreme
Pop three pills
Tip the bottle over
No more pills to pop
My reality's blurred
But not the pain
As the bottle tumbles down
Blackness
