Tonight's Poet Corner: Missed Me
Missed Me
by Belinda Roddie
Missed me
like a drunken archer when you
kissed me, sucked away the marrow from my
mis'ry, pulling me away from all the
roller coaster trauma,
as I overdosed on
anti-histamine
little white tablets meant to
stifle sneezes, but in reality I wanted
just to feel drowsy all the time
and forget the little things like
your swollen body against mine.
Oh, well.
You've always found a way to make me
feel less like Hell. You missed my
lips when you tried to please me, but
in my trance I'll try to kiss you and
hit the target this time.
