A Poem by Heather Hassell
"

i cannot write any kind of poem that would do event any justice. drugs, man.

"
i saw you lose your mind
or rather i witnessed
your body
after your mind went
awol
you talked in endless loops
and writhed across my bed
smearing blood leaking from your knees
and shattering the old mirror on the wall
your mind is the most beautiful i have
ever seen
even in that primal instinctive state
you made sense
at least to me
at least in that moment
you thought you were dying
and you stripped completely naked
you didn't understand life
and why we were here
any answer you could
come up with had to be wrong
because if you understood life
that would make you special
and you knew you weren't that special
but the wild look in your eyes
said otherwise
but you don't remember any of it
but i won't ever forget it
