Under the Influence

Pale skin dead under the white moon
Vacant eyes glazed over, unblinking
Loosened mind
Dissolved thoughts
The darkness is there but the pain has gone
Washed away in a wave of unimportance.
Peace
Numbness,
Resting, deteriorating
Travelling through nowhere
With nothing on your mind
Unblinking.

Tomorrow morning
you'll turn over a new leaf.
