Love Drug

The rain pelts down my window panes Your face in my memory evokes emotional pain and I wonder if you ever regret the things you do make me cry Or WORRY WHETHER OR NOT YOU’D OVERDOSE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND DIE I HAD SO MANY COUNTLESS SLEEPLESS NIGHTS……. You had me walking around like a shaky zombie, close to an an attack of anxieties. You took my kindness you took it like a selfish thief in the night You stroked my hair and gave me promises of a relationship that would someday be right But perfect was nothing further from it. I gave you my virginity, my essence of innocence and YOU MADE ME HURT YOU MADE ME SICK I'll never forget the time you slapped me across the face The sting was numbed from your inebriated laughter You tore me apart with your verbal wolverine clawed insults Your tongue has left whip like scars on MY HEART You threatened me with suicidal tendencies To keep your addictive behaviour a secret UNWILLING TO SEEK HELP YOU POISONED YOURSELF WITH DRUGS MEANT TO HELP THOSE SUFFERING FROM ILLNESSES THAT ARE CANCEROUS You chased away the love of my friends and my families You punched a hole through your sister's door, so frustrated and blinded by the drug's destructive withdrawals You felt like your skeleton was ripping from your skin's molecules You were monstrous. Stole away my confidence, and shut down the sound of my voice Luckily I found my way back to sanity my addiction was loving you, when you were calamitous and noxious
