I Am Drug

I am a drifter.
I am a splinter on the two by four of life.
I am a liar.
I am the fire engulfing your heart.
I am a broken down dream.
I am a seam on a ragged old pair of jeans.
I am absent.
I am a blister on your sole (soul?)
I am the last snow.
I am a ‘no’ on prom night.
I am night.
I am a bite from the dog next door.
I am a king.
I am a god.
I am a anticipating nod acknowledging your presence.
I am sound.
I am that pound on your front door.
I watch you sink.
I am in your bed, in the corner of your room.
I am fear.
I am a mirror of the world’s reality.
I am fearful.
I am just another tear.
You love me.
I hate you.

I am Drug.
