Steven Starkey Poet I do not know?

Number 72

Don't make me make that decision right now
I'm not prepared
Besides I am leaving tonight
to where, I do not know
Anywhere is better than right here
right now
I'm on my knees again
She must be tired of my sorrow and guilt and shame
It pulls on me
Calling my name time and again
Everyone leaves this wreckage alone
In the end
My melancholy got the best of me
and we only have right now
Heroin take a bow
You put on one hell of a show
but now I  must go
Sometimes you must walk away
From what you love
or incinerate
I ran away out of fear
You followed and you met me there
and I take that shot at death again
but the reaper won't let me in
so I must carry this cross
another five-thousand days
You take away the best of me
and we only have right now
Addiction take a bow
It was a real good show
Why is it I can't just go?
I know I should walk away
from what I love 
or disintegrate
I know I should walk away
but I love you 
and how you incinerate
