Pfizer's Antidote

First

warm beautiful
and amazing
yet deep within you are frozen
by the time-release
solution to create a
monotonous sense of balance
apathy mingled with the
aftereffects of disintegrated
particles which
untruthfully bring half-dead
sparkles to your eyes
and do you remember me?
remember how i used to be
your natural web of strength
and love? remember
how i was always there
and i was always the answer?

forget about me.
you desire unloving
dust in your bloodstream
over the cure i was attempting
to conjure deep inside
my tear-stained irises
you don't need me
now i'm just a daily supplement

Last

i hate your utter peace
your idyllic little world
your own elysian fields
with
your twenty-five milligram
pseudo candies
growing like
flowers
and i hate
how i am the one to always
bring it down.
