Addiction

Pain throbbing thru every spot 
One minute cold the next I'm hot
I chose the drug this is what I got
Bad decision again has me caught

Caught between life and wanting it's end
For now on this drug I fully depend
So much time and money that I spend
Just to again want the end

Aching so deep it makes my bones cringe
Going without then I binge
Like a door needs it's trusty hinge
I can't help but crave that syringe

Struggled so hard to overcome and prevail
Only to see how easy it is to fail
All my efforts! A lonesome wail
I watch as my sanity begins to set sail

How could something that took my pain
Sink so deep into my brain
Broken down nothing remains
Hopelessly lost my will continues to drain
