Detox

But now the detox has kicked in and the high
that's sustained me has disappeared completely
and left me feeling hollow and alone once more.

Curiosity Kills.

I wish I hadn't turned around to see
because then the salt that appeared
wouldn't drip down my cheeks.
Some things are better left unknown
and some things best left buried and unseen.
'cause to stir the undisturbed waters only
wakes the Hydra from its sleep.
Cats have nine lives but I have only one,
and so the only thing that curiosity killed
was me.
