The Price Of Rescue

You rescued me,

but did you truly?

Thank God, I am free;

I escaped from that tyrant.

But did you really unshackle me?

Summoning me up at 2 a.m.,

drunk and drugged up.

"Please come meet me,

I need you."

I’m in the room,

caged in this home

with you and your friends.

"Just do it,

it’s only one line,

it won’t hurt."

It did sting, though,

didn’t it?

I slipped into the vortex,

no clear route of escape.

This consumed my life,

This branded me.

One line is harmless, though,

right?
