Exactly!!
Theres two things in this life that can turn you into a monster. I found it and it found me. Innocence doesn’t fade, it rots. Go soft in the middle like a peach left too long. First it’s sweet then it makes you sick. Then it makes you hungry for something bad. Something real bad. Something that could swallow you whole. It was sweet, I was sweet. I was so sweet , too sweet and sweet don’t save you. It sits there and rots in your hands. I was black this year , that was the year I stopped crying, started watching, started listening. I watched your mannerisms, I waited for the snap beneath your breath. There’s something off about you, off about you. There’s something off about you. Your leather hands slid down my back it don’t feel wrong but I know it don’t feel right. There’s pink on everything but there’s nothing light in me anymore. There’s something off about you.

"You can tell me everything, i'll be here for you"
No you won’t.
You’ll use it against me later.. 🖕🏻
WITH THIS NEEDLE, I THEE WED
So now little girl, you’re tired of grass
LSD, acid, cocaine, and hash
When someone pretending to be a true friend
Said “I’ll introduce you to Miss Heroin”
Well, honey, before you start fooling with me
Let me inform you of just how it’ll be
For I will seduce you and make you my slave.
I’ve sent stronger ones than you straight to their grave.
You’ll think you could never be such a disgrace
Then you’ll end up addicted to poppy seed waste.
You’ll start by inhaling me, one afternoon
Then you’ll take me into your arms very soon.
And once I have entered deep down in your vein
The craving will really drive you insane.
You’ll need lots of money (have you already been told?)
For darling, I am much more expensive than gold.
One day you’ll realize the monster you’re grown,
Then solemnly promise to leave me alone.
If you think you’ll have the mystical knack
Just come on and try getting me off your back.
The vomit, the cramps, your guts in a knot,
The jangling nerves screaming for just one more shot.
The hot chill, the cold sweats, the withdrawal pains
Can only be eased by my little white grains.
There is no other way, no need to look
For deep down inside you’ll know that you’re hooked.
You’ll desperately run to the pusher and then
You’ll welcome me back to your vein once again.
And when you return, as I have foretold,
You’ll ultimately give me your body and soul.
You’ll give up our morals, your conscience, your heart
And then you’ll be mine, ‘til death do us part.
From One
who says, “Don’t cry.
You’ll like it after a while.”
and Two who tells you thank-you
after the fact and can’t look at your face.
To Three who pays for your breakfast
and a cab home
and your mother’s rent.
To Four
who says,
“But you felt so good
I didn’t know how to stop.”
To Five who says giving your body
is tough
but something you do very well.
To Six
Who smells of tobacco
and says “Come on, I can feel that
you love this.”
To those who feel bad in the morning yes,
some feel bad in the morning
and sometimes they tell you
you want it
and sometimes you think that you do.
Thank heavens you’re resetting
ever setting and resetting
How else do you sew up the tears?
How else can the body survive?
Loving me is like watering a dead flower…
