I just wish the conversations,
the constant bickerings in my head,
I wish they would recede.
I realized that one [line] after another,
we both dreamed in yellow and green.
I never knew that it
would take this many drugs to get you
out.of.my.head.
But at least now it's working.
At least, for now, all that's left
is the sting of this self-induced poison.
At least I feel my wick growing short.
And what a beautiful [fallfromgrace] I've become.
I feel like I've been reborn;
there's XaneX in the afterbirth
and tequila in my blood.
This milky skin is turning a little grey.
And while you're dreaming,
I'll be peeling away these memories.
I just be careful to wash them down
with the [sour taste] you left.

Author notes
I used grace instead of graceful and milky instead of milk. Let me know if I need to change it.
Note: XaneX is intentionally spelled that way. I used to be straight edge, and it reminds me of that stage in my life, the complete 180 I've done. Need more info? Ask me, Shirl-Girl.
Totally personal.
Totally about The Shawn.
Oh, I miss him.
At least now we'd be high together.
Title note: Lil Wyte's song "Oxycontin". 'Nuff said.
