The Need

THE NEED The need for the drug was greater than the need for the friend, And because of that need, many friendships would end. Though everyone was leaving, it didn’t seem to matter…. The need for the drug just made it all sadder. The need for the drug was greater than the need of the bills. The urges were stronger, taking over his will. His every thought, determined for more. The need for the drug was worth dying for. The need for the drug was greater than the need of his life. Taking everything away, causing nothing but strife. He used to have much, but now he’s lost all. The need for the drug is what made him fall.
