I kind of got addicted
To the bottle to the right
Can't really blame me
Mom does it all the time
You yelled at me yesterday
Could have been today
You told me to stop blaming it all
On my crappy life with mom
The Advil got less appealing
So I switched to codeine today
I swear the freaking colors
Are a blend you won't forget
I'm really not that bad
Once the numbing climbs my veins
I'm a pretty cool person
On kerosene fumes and cocaine
The furniture talked yesterday
And probably will tomorrow
I can't really remember
What happened much this week
I haven't ate in three days
Just an iced coffee today
Soothed my throat
But killed my gut
My headaches increased
As I started smoking more
I can't help the feeling
I get from being a drug-whore
You came by again
To tell me you're done
I watched you walk away
And I laughed for a while
I speed dialed your number
You wouldn't answer for once
I cussed out your phone
And left a cute message:
"I sorta got addicted
I wish I could've stopped
But since you're done with me
It's all that I have left"
Author notes
Never went through this...much.
I had a tylenol/benadryl addiction back in the 6th and 7th grade. But that went away once I had people that cared...today they don't.
But I chose option 4 this time.
