HER
She leaves her trust in the drugs
Snorts cocaine
Says its relieves her pain
Blows on that Mary Jane
It keeps her sane
Sex addict
swear it keeps the dark thoughts out of her brain
Keep popping these pills
until she feels numb
yeah she’s young
but depression didn’t care about her age
Living in darkest
so constantly afraid
that she’ll never see the light
constantly putting up a fight
hoping that the drugs will cause some endorphins
So she could be happy for a small period of time
But her only way to happiness
is considered a crime
Its her fatal attraction
She doesn’t want to continue
planning to stop
but never put it into action
this addiction
killing her slowly
but she doesn't care
she was told she has nothing to live for
and she believes them
I try to remind her they only want to see her bleeding
Not succeeding
Trying my hardest to keep her alive
but she asks me to stop the constant pleading
I can’t
I can’t
Not when so many people have already given up on her
I will not be another
I can not replace the love you need from your mother
But I can give you all the love that I have
I don’t want to complete you
I don’t want to be your better half
I just want to see you get better
You just got to persevere through bad weather
There won’t always be a rainbow at the end of the storm
but the sun will fade into the horizon
and the moon will rise
You are my moon
What lights up my dark skies
you’re her
