Stay away from drugs, they said.

It ruins you; their concerns beckoned.

Makes you lose control of your senses; They're addictive.

I rebelled at the cost of nothing that weed could do;

Indigenous to what cocaine would do;

Pills were reckless.

They never warned that mortals could be narcotics to my soul.

Unconscious to the destruction it'd cause.

Addicted to these new feelings of mine I have become.

From ashes to dust; my veins scream your name.

Your absolute numbness towards me overpowered the materialistic things.

How am I to withdraw from your addiction, oh beloved?

Show me a way out these shivers down my spine;

Heartaches and frailty running down my throat vanquished my will to live.

Maybe one last dosage of you; I may crawl out of this misery.

This hunger won't fade away.

Is there anything worse than drugs to keep in an illusion of high spirits?

How am I supposed to survive this fever?

This catastrophic melancholia filled with numbness.

The anarchy within my bones urged me to take the leap of faith; 

Deliberately knowing that destiny would destroy every last bit of me.

No dose, I'm slowly dying. One last shot, I won't live.

Your absence; hanker.

Your presence; anger.
