Your Cocaine, My Blues Poem by mark king

In the meantime
You have your cocaine
I have my blues

A fate waits
When you need me
I’m always there

A love waits
Like the poems
About you

You missed the latest
Poetry slam
It was all for you

So I shuffled back home
All alone
Still wanting you

Listening to the blues
I feel the pain
Like the words I pen

Seems I feel yours too
Someday you’ll be strong
Till then

You have your cocaine
I have my blues-
