Embrace

by Jessie   Aug 15, 2011


Its the times like these where I wish that I
could just feel the sweet embrace of methemphetamine
I could feel the pierce into my skin
and release all the sorrow that is bleeding within

I could taste the numb that envelopes my soul
and breath the air that kills the mind
while I sulk back into the soft backing
of a couch that feels what I am lacking.

It seems like there is nothing better
than the sweet pop of a small valium
I could forget what is swirling inside my mind
and run to dreams that are much more kind

one glass of water and a pill will suffice
and I shall be stolen from the world I know
take this life that I live and throw it away
leave no happiness, but also kill pain.

Have you ever heard of a drug - heroin
I hear it takes away all that you have known
it leaves you with a sense of nothingness
and one prick leaves you feeling motionless

I sure could use that right about now
for I know I am becoming overwhelmed.
but when all is said and done I still will be dead
not physically but certainly inside my head.
