used to escape in my mind
escape in my heart
you escape in a pipe
that tears you apart
used to inject my time
and inject my love
now you inject into your vein
simply because
i saw potential
inside your broken heart
and broken mind
i like to piece together
people of the broken kind
i saw what others didn’t
i saw a person
with drive and stability
i expressed with words
how much you meant to me
you let the liquor
destroy you mentally
only saw me as a joke
you consider coke
you test your limits now
but one day you’ll reach your limit now
and won’t be able to come back down
and your soul will be headed elsewhere
drifting away
hoping something else is out there
soul searching for a new one to care
and maybe the problem with you
is you misuse drugs and people
and maybe the problem with me
is i misuse drugged up people
but this means nothing to you
it’s sad but true
