Ian Curtis,
what went wrong?
Now you are
remembered for a song.
You said that
love would never
tear you apart.
Then you made
depression into art.
You were the one
who never had control
always destined
to play that role.
Wired for sound
and ready for transmission.
You were the genius
behind Joy Division.
Aged twenty-three,
epileptic and hectic.
you sought a way out
you thought was poetic.
