Emotional overdoses,

Shooting back stomach acid which erodes the pitted monarchs

An ashen complexion, accredited to lingering in the shadows of another

is exchanged for a rose tinted hue

one that replaces the indignant rouge adorning your cheeks,

flipping into dazed crescent smiles.

A hallucinogenic drug tripped innovation of affection, 

so remedial it extricates the poison out of you 

turpentined vulnerabilities resurface like familiar confrères

captured in celluloid so we don't misplace a memory
