I wish I could make you as happy as XTC
But my company is a downer called ****
I wish I could procure you the love drug and you would get addicted to me
But I'm the worst trip around here, I only grant you paranoia and tears

I wish I could make you as energetic as speed
But my mind, my thoughts and my music just put you to sleep
I'm a natural drug without any THC
Not even the taste is good, and it just smells very smelly

I wish I could give you as much confidence as *******
But the only effect I could give you is infinite pain
You wouldn't feel like a queen with me, I would turn you into a slave
A slave full of malediction, crashing and smacking down your face

I wish I could give you an ****** as warm as ******
But I always inject you with my misery and spleen
I give you an overdose of sadness and melancholy
I cannot even offer you a moment of escapism out of your reality

I wish I could make you see colours as colourful as under the influence of LSD
But I only paint your mood into black even the night is brighter than my company
I turn the brightest star into a dead parasite
I turn every particle of light into a colourless and unliveable galaxy

If I would be a drug I would be a depressive
The one you take because you feel too happy
The one that holds you down even lower than gravity
You would take me because the deeper you could go with me
The higher you could fly again when you would leave me
A poem of the "heartbreak" or "Saudade" part of my published book
