I remember when you were my best friend
Slowly helping me fall into darkness, I sought you
Never alone chilling so comfortablyΒ Β after I met you
Our encounters were brief like my ex honey's
Like honey to a bee I flocked to you frequently
You had this aura I couldn't ignore
Enticing advertisements had me pleading for more
That 'it' like quality I couldn't find anywhere else
You had me
In my time dealing with you, you gave me an ephemeral thrill
Often finding comfort in your disaster-filled solace
Causing shift in inner emotions and outer appearance
You had me
I admit you were addictive and you got the best of me
You took a turn for the worst, evoking feelings I often kept inside
Finding myself screaming and throwing objects at whoever was near me
Often crying in the aftermath of chaos and dysfunction
You temporarily destroyed me
I remember being strapped down, carried away to strange places I could not escape
Coming to terms with harsh realities
You broke me
Discovering a new light that shines
brighter than all the stars only to be dimmed in the presence of others
You caused me to relapse
Your ruined a tiny portion of my life
Causing bad decisions to cope with strife
I found an inner solace on my own and now you're just a memory I cringe at
Thanks, for the two years I can never get back
You were what I wanted, not what I had needed.
