My Friend Heroin

We used to hang out every day.
                  I did whatever you would say.
             The days you weren't there, I was blue.
                you even killed my best friend too.
                  That didn't really matter to me.
            Thought you loved me unconditionally.
                    With you I could run & hide,
                     Put all of my feelings aside.
                The pain I thought you took away.
                    Left me with shame every day
                  Didn't talk to my friends anymore,
                   don't really even know what for.
                        I swore it was you I hated,
                       left my life so complicated.
                There's nowhere to run I can speak.
                   You'll even haunt me in my sleep
                 It's psychological can't break free,
                      heroin you got a hold of me
                   I'm so disgusted & can't say no,
                   now I'm stuck & you won't let go.
               At first I did you so I could get high
                   & now I need you just to get by.
            You've left me with nothing else to take,
               it won't be long now before I break

Passionate and sad. True at times people leave no ground but to hate after such a great sublime emotion called love. Its not about others...it's about ourselves we should think. Of what hatred does to us. :)) well penned.Sunita UPD
