Comfortable


The medicine settles
In comfortable pills
Strewn across my room
It never soothes the chills
It’s the pain that kills
It’s the dark that fills
Void spaces in my mind
When I count to ten
To forget the time
Such comfortable pills
As my weakened hand wills
And my eyes peel off the paint
Of my window sills
And so I sit so very still
While I feel so very ill
And as the comfortable medicine kills
I wonder ...
who should pay the bills……
