High

opiods of the masses, oxycodone. 
yummy. slows me down.
makes me warm
I feel love. 

Kratom, Kava Kava, 
Marijuana. 
Overdosing on love.
I feel love. 
and I feel very sick. 
love sickness.

mental anguish cured by broken ribs. 
how I got the narcotics. 
but they don't last. 
love doesn't last. 

I won't die if you don't die. 
I will resist the temptations. 
I will go sober, I will be clean. 
I know who I love, I lied before.
I wish you knew that I want more.
