Drugs that breath and have a pulse


While inhaled into my lungs the positivity seeps into my bloodstream and pulls up the corner of my mouths 
But did it ever truly chase the demons away or did I forget
I'd always wanted to meet someone who could give me such a high of oblivion
Erase the past and illustrate the future like
An intricate painting with layers and layers of colored years that expands past the horizon
And being the impulsive human I am
Pull people into this trap that only certain materialistic substances could fit in 
And for some reason I'm suprised when a person turns to ashes quicker than a tightly rolled blunt 
 
But a few seem to fill a different void
And I forget about needing to forget 
And those are the ones who tend to stay
