Pills Jailed You

You used to be a gentle lover Memories of that now just hover Over a cold dark jail cell You created from the hell Pills you took broke your spirit It so hard to try and clear it Once you start this filthy habit You are hooked, each day you grab it Addiction is now your friend Your whole world comes to an end Wrecked by a habit you can't break Each day trying hard to fake Your love for me was stronger than The bottles you bought from a "friend" But the proof is in a file The damaged you caused its really vile Abusing me with fists so hard Always catching me off guard The black and blue that I now wear Will soon slowly disappear But the scars that will soon show Are staying with me as I grow Being more cautious the next time Not falling for another "crime" Of passion that isn't true A hard lesson I learned from you
