An Addict's Lover

Her mother used to hit her
 To an uncontrolled consumption of an absolute solution
 Experience with drug abuse
 Taking this drug of peace
 Slowly taking it's toll
 Never question, love thru addiction
 Collecting this emptiness
 Recollect a calm self-centered guess
 Every broken promise
 To bleed the soul free
 Faith is not the answer
 A promise that must end
 Left her standing to face her own way
 Face to face
 Thought you could...
 Never thought you would...
 Fall this steep
 Overdose intentional
 5 or 6 times
 For reasons being to die
 Broken out fight
 Unable to focus
 Late night on knees
 Scraping scarred brush burns
 A lethal move for ecstasy
 Lying curled-up in the corner of the bathroom
 Hung over from the night before
 A wrong signal for an intertwined love affair
 Putting yourself in a disaster over a childish dare
 Eyes opening to smooth trail of blood on the floor
 Leading to the trash can next to the door
 You wanted to be intimate... he wanted to fuck
 Skill of prostitution down the drain for one more dose
 Indulge in the innocence of each other's addiction
 Sitting next to your mate doing drug time
 Vintage lust for a lost modern age
