Substance Abuse

A Poem by Hope
"

One more hit/One more kiss/One more line/One more night

"
You laid it down before me 
Stuck the dollar up my nose
Got me breathing fast
Had me feeling trashed
One dose had me down
One hit and I begged for more
One more hit
One more kiss
One more line
One more night
Until my body went cold
Laced with poison
You deceived me
Lied about what you sold
And now I can't shake this crave
I can't shake this pain
I can't shake you from my brain
Pinned against a wall
Wrapped tightly around you
Holding onto a drug
I was forced to use
Screaming and sobbing
Begging you to stay
One more hit
One more high
please please please
Don't go away
Shaking like a junkie
Forced to need you
Offering no rescue
Just a quick hit
One bump
And you're gone
Leaving the crime scene 
All to me
And an addiction
To reliving senseless tragedy
One hit
I close my eyes and replay
The horror in my head
One more hit
Every night
Every morning
Ever free moment I get
One more hit
All that was unwanted
And all that was unsaid
All those hours of you in my bed
One more hit
Left reeling
Left feeling
Again
Like the fault was mine
One more hit
And I'm tired
So so so
tired
This all too real
Paralysis demon
My all time terror
That will never go away
One more hit
Over and over
On loop
One more hit
Forever
Until I'm dead.
