Collecting dust

You used to laugh
And bring so much joy
Now you're covered in sorrow
Collecting dust like a forgotten toy

We shared our highs
And definitely had our lows
I learned to resist the demons
But you couldn't say no

I watched you fade
Like an apparition in the corner of my eye
You wanted nothing more
Than to feel your next high

Cut yourself off
From everyone who cared
Alone you sat
Slowly wasting the years

I wish I could have done something
But you didn't want to be saved
Now all I have of you
Is your cold silent grave
