ADDICTION

Addiction runs deep in my veins
Into my soul and out again
Tormenting my emotions
Raping my conscience
Destroying all that I am
And all I could be.

Admittance is the first step
If I want a way out
But I'm hooked on the feeling
Of hopeless doubt.
Something to call my own
Something to hold on to
Knowing 'It' will remain
To love me through my pain.

Addiction is an addiction
I can never overcome it
But only learn to cope
And better how to run from it.

Run from the fear -
Run from the loneliness -
Run from the hate -
Run from the pain -
Run from the very addiction
Running through my veins!

Now we'll see who wins.

Gone Again
So, again you're gone from my life,
gone like a thief in the night.
You get to hide in numbness,
I get to live with

WASTED GIRL

She stood outside the motel room,
her head resting wearily on the door.
Her skin was pale and blue-veined,
and her
