viiii. drugs

lonliness creeps
inside my veins,
sadness is like a
drug.

you take a
shot.

you take a
breath.

and then you
just feel
numb.

you used to cure my
cravings,
but now you're
just a ghost.

the morphine settles in,
taking over the host.

the doctors say i'm broken -
i need a miracle fix.

but maybe,
i need some love -

i'm just a crazy addict.

for i know it'll hurt me,
i'll always
crash and burn -

it's a cynical cycle
i play.

all it takes is that
syrupy sweet smile,

calling for my name.

and when you're gone,
i'm low and blue
as can be.

for love is a deadly drug -

and there is
no cure
for me.
