Please Tell Him

White powder, smoke and mirrors
Skylines, bridges and night lamps alit
Deep tenor voices and old pictures
Lost in the net of sobriety
Released as it rolls in and rolls out
Waves of color and echoes of words
Buzzing in your skull and numbing in your chest
You cannot talk, you cannot regret
For the secret is out and the smiles still hate you
Cursed never to look in your direction
Only wanting one more glace, to let your friend know you need one more chance
Tell him now for me, if not ever
For I take capsules so I don’t have to remember
