Untitled poem

I promised Vanessa a spring poem. But I'm hating Spring right now. Instead this is all I could think of:

Music is my pain killer.
It soothes the pain, but temporary.

The lyrics have side effects.
my salty lips burn and dry.

My heart beats with the drum
I can't catch my breath - it's hard to breathe.

Screaming through the guitars and not sure what to do.
This medicine isn't helping me because I feel like shit.

Leave me alone in my misery - this music is my drug.
It gets me high and then gets me low.

Not too sure where I am now - lost in this music it's my misery.
This song knows exactly where the pain is - straight to the heart.

It doesn't heal - it's just a pain killer.
