Substance Abuse -

Remember when addiction didn’t cloud the sky?

Ignorant about our vulnerability

We freely lived in our highs of youth

But how sobering this has become

Like cupping water in the palms of our hands

Cherished because it won’t last long enough

We struggle to drink the vanishing nourishment

While our lives collapse against all intentions

Malnourished begging for a drop of relief

It blinds your eyes into tunnel vision

Our days are never coming back

Now all that’s left is just a memory

We’ll never get back that sweet guiltlessness

We’ll never reclaim our once devoted friendship

Time blurs our memories

Bags and needles erase them
