Substance Abuse

You laid it down before me
Stuck the dollar in my nose
Got me breathing fast
Had me feeling trashed

One dose had me down
One hit and I begged for more

One more line
One more night
Until my body went cold

Laced with poison
You decieved me
Lied about what you sold
And now I can't shake this crave
I can't shake this pain
I can't shake you from my brain

I wish I wasn't real
Nothing makes sense

I wanted to be all you think I am
The one you always trusted
The one you could depend on
To be okay
To never stray from the good path you la...

Doe

Wide eyed gaze
And lusty lashes
"You and those doe eyes"
He'd say
Before he hunted
And feasted

In my eyes, what did he see?
Shades of browns and yellows?
Hues of blues and greens? 
The girl of all his dreams? 
Someone he could love?
An angel from above?
Or did he only see himself?

A hunter on attack
Hoping to fulfill some predatory promise
Sensing a weakness
Smirking at the bre...
