"Our Movies"

Those were our movies

Sid & Nancy
Scarface
Drugstore Cowboy
you promised to save me some

you did it all, you didn't leave me any
We could relate to them
we wore out the tape of

Scarface
watching it
over and over
while doing
line after line

I was watching Drugstore Cowboy
last night
alone
straight
All the thoughts, emotions, remembrances
sad

with the memories of
the whore
my wife
she said
I may have been many things
but I was no tramp
and she left
with her new man
at the end he said
a drug addict always knows how
he will feel

he just reads the label
on the bottle
I don't need that
anymore
I'm happy
unless I get that rush

of memories
watching our movies
