Xanax

Take me with water,
Or even a beer,
Swallow me dry,
I'll wipe away your fear.
I'll keep you warm,
I'll make you forget,
The days of the month, & even when we met.
I come in blue,
And start with an X,
I'll numb you so good,
You won't know what's next.
I'll help you sleep,
For more than a day,
Take two of me,
& I'll show you the way.
Be careful when driving,
Cause you might crash,
And you won't remember,
You'll just feel like trash.
I forgot to tell you,
I'm pretty strong.
I can control you,
All night long.
I'll stay in your body,
& make you want more,
I'll curve your hunger,
Til you hit the floor.
Let this be a lesson,
I'm not like the rest,
Take more than two,
And that'll be your test.
So tell me,
Do you like me?
Would you try me once more?
I promise I'll keep this between us,
Just swallow four more.
