Better Days Spent


I am sitting here with a needle in my hand, the contents in it...

only make me think of the demand it takes on my body, heart, and soul.

But if I'm too far gone, I hope you leave my body whole.

The times I have spent laid out in a corner,

 makes me think of my days,

that have gone and went.

For now I see my outer is only a shell of who I used to be, my whole body spent.

My dreams, aspirations, and goals all seem hopeless now, 

now that I see my surringe is a little less than full.

So my last wish before I fully inject and slip away,

is to not blame yourself for making me be this way.
