never took latin.

considering the chemicals

that'd make it quit completely

the formulas to sleep

so i'm not terrorized nightly

something subtle

quiet

tucking me in sweetly

to take me under

silently

and make the heart stop beating

considering your hands

and how i'd like to meet them

considering their strength

and how i can't defeat them

translations and dissecting

looking for hidden meaning

please wrap them just around my throat

please force me to quit breathing

the boy who has the chemicals

i ask him so discreetly 

for the latin names

the dosage games

and the obscure bullshit theories

mind rots to nearly nothing

and there is no sense in healing

as without you here

there is no use in feeling
