I was taught that drugs are bad,
I was taught to stay away,
To never try them,
Not even once
For drugs would dim my light.


I should never sacrifice  my smile,
Especially  for a temporary  high,
When I met you,
I strayed away,
I took a hit
And it's never been the same.


I must have been injected you,
In my thickest vein,
My lungs must have  inhaled you,
And it reached my brain,
My senses are now your slaves.


I seem to relapse every given  day,
Because within me,
Like addiction
I cannot break from,
Every practice  of you,
Has mixed with my blood,
Every artery of mine
Pumps your love.

You have me addicted.
