A Bad HabitA Poem by Patrick McCombs
You're staring at me from the picture frame
My brain is inflamed with your name It's repetitious Almost fictitious You're thought vapor Remnants of a forgotten caper But your always there to some extent Like an ancient apocalyptic event You were chaotic Absolutely exotic A mystery in every sense With an air tight defense Against any interaction Any social transaction You were cold and unblinking No emotions just pure thinking At least on the outside But there was something you couldn't hide A glimpse of fire in your eyes Something that you despised I dug at it like a half starving miner Attempting to penetrate with bad one liners But I was rejected Completely misdirected But I kept at it Like an alcoholic with a bad habit You were defiant Completely self reliant And I was addicted Recently afflicted With this ailment Resulting in the complete derailment Of my sanity For the sake of your vanity I followed you like a hound to the the trail But to no avail © 2013 Patrick McCombs |
