stp surprise

I've come to a bad place
I'm filled with fear
I cannot see a face I know
I have no business being here

did I really need to pop that pill?
her smell of strawberry urging me so
did I need yet another thrill?
I thought that I left that long ago

but the curve of her body
shooting stars of her eyes
drew me willingly down
fleeting path of grim disguise

I knew what it was
I knew what it meant
but I forgot all about
the pain of sanity's descent

three days later
and I am still there
a place that I can't pinpoint
I've found that I've found...nowhere!

still, my breathing continues
at least, I think so
and manys the time
I got up to go

but found myself puzzled
I was to, go where?
I'm here....
where is...there?

what is there?
what is here?
who am I?
nothing is clear

too often in times past
I've done things that I've regretted
and as many times..following
repeated the horror forgetted

this just may be the last time
I'm unsure I'll make it home
my senses have deserted me
now I've netherworld to roam

Hedi,
I wish you well. Sounds like hell. Not the poem, but what you went through. Hope you made it back.

hedi, you so eloquently describe it, and rhyming quatrains to boot, though I can't remember exactly if there is actually a word forgetted...no matter, I wish many youth could hear your words. Thanks dude. ;-)

I haven't a notion what spurred this write...but the words came easily. I suppose for there were so few. forgetted? poetic license...anything goes! thanks for the comments...

In seventy.
