Mary Jane

You inhale the savior smoke as it runs through your veins and calms your soul. There's no second thought about taking a hit. You watch as it burns like coal. You depend on the feeling for a brief escape but when it fades nothing's changed. Some days are better than others. I guess because your level of highness can range. No matter the cost or sacrifice it's your body, your motion, your choice. You enjoy floating above the earth. Peaceful bliss, until you hear my silent voice. I want you to know that it runs through me too, painfully piercing every vein. It's course it must do, there's no other way. I look at you in vain. Your pleasure is killing me inside and out. It gets harder each repeated time. I'm not actually trying to change or control you, I just want you to be mine. Right now you belong to Mary Jane and I just don't measure up. I'll just let you have your way with her, I won't interrupt. Although it hurts I continue to inquire, "Have you seen Mary Jane today?" I'd like to request one day without her, please, if i may. Hopefully soon it will all be over so both our pains can fade. Until that time...
