My Addiction
Looking for a substance to drown in
My soul was deeply frowning.
Just something to take the edge off
And make everything okay.
Your warm embrace, I felt it everyday.
You wrapped your arms around me
And you squeezed me so tight.
You made me believe that everything
Was going to be alright.
I was the ball and you were the chain
My craving for you nearly drove me insane.
Our love grew deeper and you began to possess me.
Inside of my veins your brown grains would caress me.
You began to consume me
My mind, body, and soul
And I began to do things
that made my blood run cold.
I stole and I lied and I snuck around
I was known as a junkie all over town.
I pawned valuable items just for a few bucks
To go get a bundle and shoot that shit up.
I\'d shoot and I\'d shoot just to get a good nod,
People questioning why I was acting so odd.
Then one day I realized it was just me and you
And I grew to despise all that you put me through.
I told you I think we should take time apart
And you told me that statement had broken your heart.
So I stayed away from you for nearly twenty-four hours
And that was when my stomach began to grow sour.
My skin started to crawl and my bones began to ache
At night I kicked my legs and was forced to stay awake.
Next came the vomit, cold sweats, and the tremors
I knew you were the only one who could make me feel better.
So I got in the car and I drove to the hood.
I was filled with guilt as I was up to no good.
But the guilt melted away as the needle pricked my skin,
And I welcomed you back into my arms once again.
