“Welcome Tom” said Dr. Lobe
“What do you have to say about your lack of control?”
Tom was a fidgety mess, sweating profusely
Wiggling about, regretful and brooding
He answered, “My obsession’s to blame
although I love deeply, it’s conception was strange
You see doc, nearly a decade ago my wife left us alone
Raising two kids, I was a complete wreck on my own
I accepted their wishes and stayed away from her stone
But their hatred had grown upon learning what I’d condoned”


Sally and Tom were two peas and a pod
A Jr. High couple whom hit the tee off
Moved miles apart but managed to talk
Old fashioned, wrote letters with postage they’d bought
In their mid thirties they finally made it official
Tying the knot, cause, having a third kid was a fistful
The edgy parents, rarely sober, as loud as a pistol
Often loaded, sedation a bit overly misused
Not hippy but ish, not druggy just issues
Delusional, imagined themselves growing to grizzled
But their best friend, Mary-Jane, who was related to Crystal
Both got stuck within tar and introductions would ensue
Weekend use soon matured to weekdays consumed
Injecting love in a relationship this couple had groomed


“At first, the kids had no clue how she passed
But the autopsy revealed the secret we had
They lost their father and mother, though one would still breathe
They blamed me for enabling, claiming a murderers free
But doc, you must understand, I’m not fully crazy
Just a poor sap in love with the feeling she gave me
I loved Sally, and she I, but I can’t lie
We both loved that euphoric sensation supplied
With every prick, clouds would slowly cave in
engulfing the spirit, tantalizing the skin
Our minds were free, I didn’t murder, but I allowed her to die
She passed peacefully when her dream had arrived
Well I awoke, begrudgingly. For me, reality's what had survived”.
