100 Worst Songs of The 80's Challenge: Poem 3

Now, let me preface this by saying, I do not completely agree with the list of 100 songs, but thought this could be a fun 80's activity just the same. So, here is #100 from the 100 Worst #1 Songs of The 80's. Also, I never promised that these would be good. I'm sure most will be humorous in nature.


Bad Medicine: A Re-Imagining


This sickness is burning--acidic deep in my digestive
system. I can feel it eat  away the lining of my
throat.  Slippery pain.


No medicine.  No tending. No nurturing mother's
touch, can stop this feeling from it's insidious
inside rampage.


Mommy warned me about girls like you. Said you'd
make me hurt, but those blue eyes and wide lips 
said differently.


I fell for the sway of your hips, the shape of your thighs
and the sweet narcotic-laced brain inside your
philosophically-minded head.


It hurt then, the bubbling bile inside of me. Nagging
my gall bladder for sweet relief, but I ignored
the intense sensation.


The pain grew worse with time, radiating down
into  the more intimate darkened corners of  the pit
of my belly.


And still, you deny me the only thing that will give
me relief.  Smiling with all of your saccharine and
promising me nothing.


I know there are others, that they love you. Adding
another cheap conquest to their sheets. But I need
you, love you. And. You deny me.
Everything.
