one pill

The waters were deep;

The clouds were dark:

I saw a rainbow;

And then watched it disappear:

The flowers were livening;

The butterflies, my fear;

I plucked away the thorns;

And they gifted them back to me:

There are clouds here;

Demons right behind me:

If I close my eyes;

Will they still stay?

Carried those rocks with me:

Tied with my feet, my throat;

My bitter aches:

You say it's just a mistake?

But if I scream,

monster will be my name:

So,

One pill;

For watering artificial flowers:

Two pills;

To numb this pain:

Three pills;

So I don't wake up chatting:

Four pills;

So I can breathe again:

And five pills;

To kiss dreams a goodbye.
