Eat Me, Drink Me

EAT ME, DRINK ME BY ISABEL OLSSON

Eat me, drink me Dissolve me on your tongue, suck me into your lungs Anything that makes it easy– Anything that makes me numb

Liquid oblivion or crystallised wonder? Choose your poison, knock it back It’s setting in, I’m slipping under Cue curtains, fade to black

Don’t be afraid, just close your eyes and be embraced By a comforting chemical collapse into madness All lucidity has been misplaced A hazy reprieve from such destructive sadness

Now that you’re up, you can only come down– To be drenched in melancholy and cold sweat So keep your head above water, keep your feet off the ground That’s it, light up– forget

I watch as the smoke curls from my lips Clouds of bluish peace from my lungs So readily my mind slips Slowly, then all at once

I fall

Down the Rabbit Hole into bliss.
