Best Drugged Poems
Light me up like a cigarette
You bring up memories I can't forget
I loved you, gave you everything I could
And in the end, you misunderstood
The things I do for you
The things I'd say
Honey I'd gotten so used to living that way
I can't shake you
Like a bad taste in my mouth
You're bad for me boy
This is gonna head south
Your love is a drug
Your mind is a mess
I can't quit you
You're worse than meth
So believe me when I say
That this isnt the end
Because there's no use
In trying to pretend
That you didn't love me
Because you did
Oh please
Who am I trying to kid?
You're no good for me
I'm no good for you
But what else
Are two messed up people to do?
Your love is a drug
Your mind is a mess
I'm more mucked up than you
But I digress
The things you say
Get to me so
Even when you hurt me
I keep coming back for more
I can't help myself
I lose control
When I'm around you
I'm not myself anymore
Your love is a drug
Your mind is a mess
Baby I can't quit you
God, you're worse than death
So believe me when I say
That I don't want this to end
Because you're like
My personal brand of heroin
Believe me when I say
I'm okay
Even though I'm not
Cause when I'm around you
You make my skin burn hot
Your love was a drug
My mind is now a mess
Christ, get out of my life
You’re gonna cause my death.
Looks as if your war's finally over.
You've fallen down the Rabbit Hole
No longer can you pretend to be okay.
Nothing is what it seems anymore.
You've fallen down the Rabbit Hole,
The Mad Hatter's tricked you good
Nothing is what it seems anymore.
Red screams, "Off with your head!"
The Mad Hatter's tricked you good
and now confusion burns your mind,
Red screams, "Off with your head!"
You fall from your drugged high.
and now confusion burns your mind,
No longer can you pretend to be okay.
You fall from your drugged high.
Looks as if your war's finally over.
I took the drug for all it's worth
and talked the drug from death to birth
And wondered why I walked the walk
of drugged for mice and not for Earth
And told myself what I would know
when all who others said I'm stoned
Told death for me when I had known
what all along was I to doned
And all I thought was left to tone
when only those who celebrate
Left me to live without a date
of what it was to concentrate
For when I learned what I had done
my lips were sealed and I was one
With what I'd learned from other's tongue
of lost for now and cost for stun
That soon I learned to be as best
what all would say had been a test
Of freedom come for those too late
and I not sure just how to gait
That even I was saved by dumb
when others left me to succumb
So I could see that I was led
in failing all with honest gum
And I could say I had belonged
to what was right and got along
To take what I gave failing grade
to all mankind who changed as wrong
I have been drugged by you.
I was intravenously injected with false love and happiness by you.
I trusted you.
You took advantage of me when I was the weakest and let my guard down.
You saw it as a perfect opportunity to make me yours.
I got addicted to you in the worst way.
I couldn’t get enough of you.
I spent money on you.
I invested time and money for you.
I became jealous and greedy because of you.
I itched to see you.
I craved your presence or tiny part of you.
I NEEDED YOU AND YOU THREW ME ALONG THE SIDE OF THE ROAD!
I had to learn how to recover from you.
I didn’t want anything BUT you.
I wanted just one more taste of you.
One more sniff.
One more look.
Before you were gone.
I shook at night because I craved your touch.
I itched to pick up my phone to beg for you back.
I knew you weren’t good for me.
I knew that this was for the best.
Eventually…
Eventually, I learned again to live without you.
I relapse.
I twitch when I hear your name.
I sweat when I see someone who looks like you.
I break down when I hear your favorite song.
The drug will never be out of my system.
You have claimed me in the worst of ways.
You intravenously injected me with false love and happiness.
Because of you I forgot how to truly love or be happy.
I became addicted to you.
I can never stop.
You are my favorite drug.
You numbed my pain when I had you.
Now that I’m alone…
The pain is more intense.
Worse than I ever have known.
You drugged me.
Form:
The familiar burbon warmth
crept through each vessel,
slow and hard the burn-
turning me out from the inside.
I closed my eyes
and braced for impact,
I always fall hard right here...
Long tendrils of silky-soft hair
framed my porcelain face as I
lowered my head in defeat.
I'm clean on the surface
but stained like church glass underneath,
a wrecked consequence
of this beautiful life
that is ominously cursed
with the promise of death.
Quixotic reality to flatter your mind,
Your eyes so wintry scour a soul so dark,
A bleeding corpse on a pyre, fragile,
Unclad midnights against a wall so cold,
Touched and drugged by fears foretold,
Halucinations and reminiscence of a body made stark,
Her hands clap to the trance of tragedy, a trance too bold,
Memories and phantasms deluged one of their kind.

Your sun-tanned skin,
On which I am high,
Those curls and smoke-stained lips—
Have drugged me long;
Wet afternoons and your hazel eyes—
Immersed me into the foggy fountain!
Our body fluids are well acquainted,
Yet our minds are lost in an intoxicating fume!

I feel drugged
Whenever we hug
Whenever you smile
I dont even care that
this poem may seem
a little too happy
cause it's what you do
you straighten my blues
whenever my days get nappy
and I what I feel for you
I've never felt before in my life
I'll never fall down from this high
that's the part that scares me
