you make me feel alive again
but you are untrue

the highs you bring
aren't like the lows you’re dealing

and boy do I feel like
I've been shaking the shorthand

because what I've put myself
through

that I could withstand

but you were a drug that didn't
warn
me **** of how my substance
you would abuse

deliriously consumed

the question begs,
*who used whom
