*•*•*
i wish you could need me
like the bottles of whiskey you cradle late at night.
i wish you could inhale me
like the joint you twirl between your fingertips.
i wish the sting of my lips on your skin
could replace the needles in your arms.
i wish i could make you feel alive again
like the pills you chase down your throat.
people say that love is a drug
apparently it wasn't enough for you.
