6 strange days

By molock

I'm Killin' time,


​staring into this,


...candle light.


this broken glass,


has kept me up all


night.


down the hall,


i hear a baby cry.


there's a sucker born


every minute,


....guess i pray to


Jesus Christ.


 


this killin' time,


is killin' me.


i was lookin' for


my soul,


and it brought me


to my knees.


through the walls,


i could hear the city


groan.....


 


i lost my faith,


....for six strange days.


 


just killin' time,


watching the stars


from Orion fall


from the sky...


this broken glass,


makes everything seem


alright...


 


a Judas kiss,


for my resurrection...


this killin' time,


is killin' me again.


from my lips,


the mighty have


fallen...


 


this killin' time,


is killin me.


i lost my soul,


and it brought me


to my knees...


through the walls,


i could hear the city


groan....


 


i lost my faith,


...for six strange


days...

    I'm curious: What happened to the 7th day? Or was the 7th day detailing the 6 days thus the question answered for the 7th day missing? ... Confusing, hmm, I know ... which is the way I feel about this piece ... Mo, you don't know this, but man do I love poems that scramble my brain! ... ;) ... Sis

    This is about a 6 day crystal meth binge, where the person feels as if they've lost there soul along the way. The broken glass is a reference to using a broken light bulb to smoke meth. Thanks as always your comments and insight are always welcome. Cheers sis .....mo

    There's a nice sense of imagery to this piece. Nicely done.
