We got on great
When we first met
Higher than high
We would get
I'd never met
no-one like you
You made me feel good
Through and through
We'd stay awake
For nights and days
I was living
In a total daze
My confidence shot through the roof
I just loved everyday
You made me very happy
But now that's all gone away
Now I have no money
No longer are you my friend
I thought that our relationship
Was one that wouldn't end
Now I really need you
Your nowhere to be seen
Now that you have wrecked my life
And made my body scream
You've made me very ill you know
You've made my teeth go bad
Now I've had a confidence knock
I'm depressed and always sad
Paranoia's really bad
It's driving me in-sane
But at this moment i'd give anything
To have you in my life again
I'm now under a psycho
I see him every week
You've turned me into someone strange
And I now feel like a freak
I only weigh five stone now
My stomach's shrunk so small
I thought I'd always be happy
You said I'd never fall
You use to treat me good at first
But then you wrecked my head
I need to have you one more time
Cause soon I will be dead
Still I thank you for the good times
The places we have been
But you didn't tell me I would die
Thank-you, Amphetimine
A wicked reminder of the spiralling effects of the crutch of substance abuse. I pray you have better and brighter days and wave a final goodbye to that which was never a true friend! Strikingly poignant and powerful poem. PEACE

Really an insightful rendition on the clutches of drug addiction, well conceived and nicely brought forth with conviction. Please have a look at my poem THE ABYSS OF DRUG ADDICTION. Thanks for sharing, Donna. Remain enriched.
