Weight


It doesn't control

It completely takes over

This is my life now.

 

Just the smell of it

Everytime I light the pipe

I shudder; ready.

 

Loved ones look away

They are shamed to see me now

I have gone away. 

 

I can not loose them

My loved ones are my whole life

I will make this stop.

 

It doesn't control

And I can and will end it

This is my life now.
