Took the Best of Me

It's been a year since you broke my heart I'm no longer the woman you once knew Since the day you left me I haven't been the same Turning towards drugs To relieve this pain No matter what I do This heartache won't go away When we were together Everything seemed so right I truly believed you were the one But you were the one To break my heart beyond repair When I was with you My days were filled with love Now it's filled with emptiness I take a hit from this crystal pipe Perhaps tomorrow I will do a few lines Everyday smoke a bowl to mellow out Snort a few pills every now and then Once you were my rock, my anchor That kept me grounded Now I'm free to float wherever If you were to pass me on the street You would only see a shell Of the woman I once was For you took the best of me The day you said good-bye Poet's note: I had written this poem about 5 years ago
