Array ( [sid] => 147603 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => It Takes the Life out of You. [time] => 2009-01-24 18:38:05 [hometext] => [bodytext] => It takes the years out of you. To watch. To wait.
To sometimes anticipate
I planted the seed in my arm
Long before, it clasped itself
around my heart

And I woke every morning
My blood a little sleepy
Trying to remember the last ten or so years
It takes the life out of you
When you cant remember the last time
You etched a memory that remained
And wasn't injected away

If only I believed
In time machines. When words arent shaky
Enough to read
The message 'never regret' seems to repeat
How can I not regret
Sucking in the poison
That sleeps my sleeps.
That dreams my dreams?
That kills my peace?

The cordon like arm belt that wraps so tight
Sometimes I forget to take it off before the night
Maybe if my arm drips off
The chemicals will have no way in
But that's, just wishful thinking.

It's a succubus
It's the enemy.
It's taking all the life.
Out of Me. [comments] => 4 [counter] => 254 [topic] => 66 [informant] => amber_vonhorror [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => drugabuse )
