What Will It Take
It's killing her
Every pill, powder, plant she inhales
Her body is slowly shutting down
Doing more of it just to escape the pain
Her best friend standing off to the side
Completely helpless trying to climb over her walls
That she has put up and locked her out of
Leaving her to watch from the outside
What's left to do?
Nothing but watch
As it consumes her mind and body
Until there's nothing left but bones
What will it take?
