Ivy’s Poison

It’s the end of her love affair
& she must be aware
It’s for the best
She’s gonna go her separate ways
It should be better days
Up ahead
& even though it didn’t last
It remains a special past
She escaped

Ivy’s impulses were many then
With no care of how or when
She’d be high
She’d started to crack & shrivel
Crumble & wither
With every drug

So now she’ll remember
The beat of her heart
& how she thought
She’d never be apart
She fought

Her soul bled the tears
She came clean through the years
Know it’s possible
