Lines go wavy, street lights become blurs, words slurred, and blood spilt, this is the life of an addict. I crave the pink lines and the burgundy that runs down my wrists. I crave the high to make the buzzing of flies in my subconscious to stop. I manipulate and dictate those around me to get what I want. But in the end, what I want is nothing at all. So the pills go down, the bottle goes up, the blood flows slightly, and I don't know if I can get up...
