I remember being 10 days clean
Finally off of methamphetamine
My daughter she was 9 days new
We were living in my hospital room.
Then someone told me my kids dad
Had smoke just one last time, I was mad.
See his teeth were killing him that day
And **** is best at taking  the pain away.
The addict inside me saw its chance to use.
It said I want one last time too!
They took her from me three months after that,
I swore up and down though that I'd get her back.
Weeks and months came and passed
Turned into years now,
I wish I knew how.
If I could go back I would make the right choice
I'd silence that evil addicts voice
What I said on that day was
"I can use just one more time"
I really thought it would be fine.
But it's 6 years later now as I write
At 4:33 am been awake all night
Because one last time never stays like that
If I hadn't tried it I'd have gotten her back.

— The End —
