Addiction
I yearn for you like no other
My day can not begin with out you
The feelings you give me
Have fueled my addiction
Unless you are inside of me
I can't seem to function
The rush i feel once you enter my system
Is worth all the pain you will bring later
My parents wonder what's wrong
I always give excuses
And start to believe them myself
The temperature of my body fluctuates
My eyes dilated and red
The thoughts in my head
No longer make sense
Incapable of surviving on my own
I wonder if things will ever change
The drugs have taken over
My name is all that remains the same
Sick of the lies and come downs
I try to think of sober times
But too much of me is gone
I don't want to die
Why am I leading this life?
I fear the changes I must make
But they are necessary
No one knows who I am anymore
Not even me
I have the power to quit
But I don't want to
Give me my next dose
