Caffeine

Can’t keep my eyes closed, can’t even blink

Too much caffeine’s been had, I think

1, 2, 3, 4 coffees & some tea

Physically fucked but mentally lively.

Happily playing music of choice

Singing along with a broken voice

Powerful prayers were prayed over me this evening

A meeting we had where seeing was believing.

Gary, 51, a recovered addict

Gave us a spiel you would never predict

His wife, Sinéad, prayed over me after

Prayers that ended with smiles & laughter.

Now I am wide-eyed, lying in bed

Music & lyrics in my head

“Vampire” is my most played track tonight

I sing along with gusto, with all of my might.
