Addiction
I Need..
i need a drink
bourbon, beer, anything
tempt me with your ways
an alcoholic maze
i need sex
sucking, fucking, teasing
i can’t count the ways
to dominate you
i need to sleep
power nap, dream, realize
just rest my weary mind
to forget you
i need to love
hugs, kisses, cuddles
to be the only one
in your eyes
i need drugs
zoloft, xanax, vices
fight off my anxiety
to appear normal
i need to write
poems, lyrics, music
without it i’m lost
and would die
i need..

NO HARM DONE[b]
[b]Follow me
I’ll bring you to my pusher
with a pssssst down an alley way
he doesn’t call to me
I walk brazenly into his store
where I also happen to purchase
a fuel fix for my car
My mouth waters
greeted with panoply of possibilities
to sate my vice
do I crave chips or cheese puffs
perhaps a candy bar or two or three
life wouldn’t be in balance
without a package of cookies
oh and I can’t forget my protein
beef jerky presented in all varieties
mmmmm I’m feeling better already
Now what to wash it down with
in this I am so sensible
I always select soda pop
that is sugar-free or nearly so
these magic beverages
nullify any of the harmful effects
of my other snack choices
I can be so damn smart sometimes
Location, location, location
where to consume my sweet ‘n’ salty hoard
I’ll start small in the car on the way home
that takes 2 minutes
sneak the rest past familiar security
to the safety and acceptance of my bedroom
fire up the laptop
watch my favorite shows online
or perhaps write some poetry
while slipping into a junk-food orgasm
my sumptuous habit won't kill me
at least not tonight

Each one of you
Each one of you going down one at a time.
Diffrent colors you are but so powerful once you start.
The thrill of taking you puts me on eage.
A the little colorfull pills make my world a better place.
Every day I take you for breakfast lunch and dinner and maby a few for a late night snack.
You help me fade out and let my mind be mush .
Ah the joys of takeing 10 of you gives me such a rush.
Each one of my little colorful pills are enough to get me to a dream world and more.
Each one of you are all I need and more ....

A Rusty Blade,
To Numb the Pain,
Cold Razors in the Middle of the Night,
Always Keeping around a Knife,
A Rusty Blade to Soothe the Mental Pain,
Hoping The Pain will soon Fade,
My addiction..
My Addiction is a Rusty cold blade,
Just hoping to Ease the Pain,
Something that I can't Run away From,
Using the blade just to Become Numb...
My Addiction,
A Rusty Razor blade is My Killer addiction

"Alcoholic The early Years"
I love you and I will never leave you dear,
respecting my vodka making it clear.
robbing whoever the deuces up that I send,
alcohol and dolla my only real friend.
no more family weddings or funerals for me,
starting fights with priest's and telling brides "Ya Uglee"
Friends drop like domino,s over the years,
I hug my bottle closer eradicating the fears.
cemented to the sofa head shaking to the floor,
stop or die' stop or die thats the bloody score.
I fell out with my lover
my oldest friend my other.
I cannot hold you down no more,
the vodka bottle I once adore.
I, m screaming for help in madness and fear,
dear oh dear, oh dear. Oh dear.
I got off my arse and did more meetings than bill,
I shit you not oh what a thrill.
your worth it, grab a key ring join the club,
Alcoholics anonomous where its ok to blub.
Dear alcohol we are done your dumped again today,
still fighting ti be clean in every way.
eight year now I been divorced from my love,
Everyday thanking the stars above.

Ramblings From The Bottle
Can't afford to live but
I can't afford to die
Everything's too damn expensive
for a lowlife like me
Chasing my Popov with water
and smoking fucking Sonoma's
Wish I could atleast
kill my body with something decent
I'm halfway through this damn bottle
thinking
"There's gotta be more to life than this"
I pack another bowl
and smoke about it awhile,
trying to decipher some lyrics
"Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds"
starts to.sound oddly morbid,
never noticed that before
Wish I had someone to chill with right now
this "alone" shit really sucks
But all my friends are working now
and all I do is get fucked up
and scribble on a little pad
Would've never never guessed that
I would end up like this
Guess I'll finish this bottle and crash out
Hopefully I won't wake up this damn time
but I don't think I could get that lucky
Can't afford to live but
I can't afford to die

Nowhere to run
Now I feel like I could crawl out of my skin
The need is so powerful, I want only one thing
Can't run away and there's nowhere to go
I've been here so many times before, I know
And I suffer all alone, get no sympathy or hugs
Doesn't matter and it wouldn't help. I need drugs
Just a little hit to feel like my old self again,
and I will lie, steal and cheat to end this pain.

Pharmasea
Why care about dreary things?
Come with us and fly...
Buy yourself some chemical wings.
Artificial happiness is for sale...
Then like a saint you will glow.
As an angel with a synthetic halo
Forget your pain and misery,
and jump into the pharmasea!
***
Now all is gone and life you have missed,
Your precious sea turned into piss...
Nothing left but to end your life with haste
Drop into the sewage vessel and drown,
in an ocean of toxic waste.

BEAUTIFUL FRIEND
Once I had a beautiful friend
Celestial formations
He breathed in and out
Cosmic waves of creation
He walked on water
Tarnished the waves
As silver, the fumes grew
As golden, the light,
Of the lingering day
Vanished vaguely
Reflecting in ivory
Brother Morpheus
Sister Morphine
You, my uncrowned king
Were searching for your heroin
She invaded my craving castle
She was the waltzing wind
Upon the tumbling
House of cards
See through me
Seeking through
the withered window
Shaking hands
Blowing away the dust
From celestial formations
He breathed in and out
Once I had a beautiful friend
Once I had a beautiful friend
Celestial formations
He breathed in and out
Cosmic waves of creation
He walked on water
Tarnished the waves
As silver, the fumes grew
As golden, the light,
Of the lingering day
Vanished vaguely
Reflecting in ivory
Brother Morpheus
Sister Morphine
You, my uncrowned king
Were searching for your heroin
She invaded my craving castle
She was the waltzing wind
Upon the tumbling
House of cards
See through me
Seeking through
the withered window
Shaking hands
Blowing away the dust
From celestial formations
He breathed in and out
Once I had a beautiful friend
