Lethal

You were my drug,
I told myself I couldn’t get addicted,
But I did,
And now I can’t stop the withdrawal.
They warned me about you,
They said you were deadly,
I didn’t listen to them,
But I should have.
You were poison,
But you tasted so sweet,
I didn’t know I was dying,
Until it was too late.
I should’ve known you’d hurt me in the end,
All of them do,
Each and every one,
You are no different.
You intoxicated me,
Altered my reality,
And my perception,
You were the most lethal drug.
