Honey, what did you take

Johanna Welker

Story

“Honey what did you take“

“Dear why and when“

“For heaven’s sake“

“Escape this devils den“


Math and chemical reactions 

Milligrams and empty fractions

The hopeful calling for distractions


Doctors orders

“Don’t be broken-hearted“

Crossed borders

Words disregarded 


But mom I’m sorry to say

For me, it’s some sort of play

Something to be done 

In order to have a little fun.


People screaming and crying

I’m dreaming, I have been lying

Don’t call my phone 

I prefer to be alone


Because all I took was a little

Doctors orders, hospital

But I’m no criminal

My hands aren’t brittle

Life’s noncommittal 

It’s just subliminal
