Breath starts to shorten, And my body goes numb, As I lie awake in bed, Waiting for death to come, What was supposed to heal, I am now using to **** And I won’t ever stop using, Until my heart is completely still.

Codeine
Breath starts to shorten, And my body goes numb, As I lie awake in bed, Waiting for death to come, What was supposed to heal, I am now using to **** And I won’t ever stop using, Until my heart is completely still.
This poem is about a suicide attempt I made when I tried to overdose on codeine. I try to keep those negative thoughts I have out of my head now, but still part of me wants to try again.
