Live
five
Luke left after
our discussion,
leaving me more
distraught
than I ever was before
now that I know
how he really
feels.
Jamie was, is
my closest
cousin,
my best
friend
and now I’m left
alone to console
his former
drug addict
of a brother.
I chain smoke
the remains of my
pack of Marlboro Lights
and drift off to sleep
at two in the afternoon,
hoping to sleep
my life
away.
