Substance Abuse
Remember when addiction didn’t cloud the sky?
Ignorant about our vulnerability
We freely lived in our highs of youth
But how sobering this has become

Like cupping water in the palms of our hands
Cherished because it won’t last long enough

We struggle to drink the vanishing nourishment
While our lives collapse against all intentions

Malnourished begging for a drop of relief
It blinds your eyes into tunnel vision
Our days are never coming back
Now all that’s left is just a memory

We’ll never get back that sweet guiltlessness
We’ll never reclaim our once devoted friendship

Time blurs our memories
Bags and needles erase them
