Drug in Me is You

Bittersweet

By Alexander GlascoePublished 7 years ago 1 min read

They all told me you would be bad for me,

no one ever thinks the first time they take a drug they're going to get hooked,

every time I was with you, my eyes dilated with desire,

I wanted more I needed more and you were the only source,

every time I put my lips against you when I pulled away it was hard to breathe,

You distorted my reality I couldn't tell who was friend and who was foe, I couldn't tell you were the only one out to get me,

all I saw was red you really fucked me over then,

all I saw was red when I looked in his eyes and saw me,

I saw myself the first time I took you,

he didn't know in a couple weeks he’ll look in someone else's eyes and see himself.

I almost killed myself that night,

I survived but not everyone survives withdrawal,

how many more lives do you have to ruin before you find your own drug,

I hope it's soon,

and even though I hate you, when you overdose from his kiss,

and he leaves causing you to crash from your high,

I hope you survive.

I hope you survive...
