Nameless Drug

Like a star in Hollywood I never thought I would watch you like a TV screen yet it makes me wanna scream. So close, yet so far. Makes me wanna raise the volume bar only to get drunk as if I sat at a bar. No, not just temporarily drunk but addicted to you like a pill. I would swallow you with passion. Slowly, but precisely timed like a slam dunk. One pill a day is what the prescription says but you're too good I must say. My diagnostic says I took an overdose but I thought I was just getting started. Who knew one pill could get me so high. I think I almost touched the sky. I am living on cloud 9 with no worries of what tomorrow holds. It's sad that you're not over-the-counter because ever since our encounter I've seen you as my medicine, making me happy and bold. It's unfortunate however, that like a star in Hollywood I can only watch you on a TV screen and hope one day I can make you mine. But until then, one pill at a time it is.
