A ghost called Valium

A ghost called Valium

Who is 
She 
This ghost
Walking down the 
Wooded passageway 
Creaks in the door 
Know her 
Yet I am her
Stranger 
A psychiatrist once said 
Who is 
She 
Is she 
She 
Is dead 
DEAD
Who 
Is she 
She the dead 
Walking into death 
In the night 
Seeking relief 
Heading for the bathroom 
The bathroom cabinet 
Eyes Hypno 
Index finger push 
The white pill
Through the silver foil
In the middle of the night 
A ghost 
called Valium
