What happens when you love an addict
I can smell him
I can feel him
yet I cant see him
in my dreams hes there
but the reality of the situation is, he is dead
and he will remain so
they buried him with my heart and soul
I walk around mindless and heartless
angry when I see young lovers
angry at the fucking world
staying up late cursing the stars
waking up late cursing the sun
I'm pissed, I'm hurt
he was an addict what did I think would happen?
that one day he would magically be sober
that one day we would be happy
yeah, that didn't happen
he over dosed
he died sitting in someones car, in a parking lot
he died alone
he didn't have his ID or anything to identify him
so for 2 days I thought he was out partying
when in all actuality he was in a freezer
when his fingerprints came back, then I was notified
I die a little more everyday
trying to pick up the pieces became to much
pieces of the person I was remain scattered
I could care less if the earth stopped spinning
fucking opiates fucking doctors
I am beside myself
I scream into a pillow trying to release my rage
I scream until it hurts
I punch random shit in my house
breaking everything I can
the anger replaced the sadness awhile ago
the anger is destroying me
synthetic heroin
prescribed by the local family doctor
who really needs 120 Vicodin and 90 Oxycontin
when the only pain you have is in your mind
why try and drown your sorrows
when everyone knows sorrows can swim
they don't kill the pain
they kill you
I can feel him
yet I cant see him
in my dreams hes there
but the reality of the situation is, he is dead
and he will remain so
they buried him with my heart and soul
I walk around mindless and heartless
angry when I see young lovers
angry at the fucking world
staying up late cursing the stars
waking up late cursing the sun
I'm pissed, I'm hurt
he was an addict what did I think would happen?
that one day he would magically be sober
that one day we would be happy
yeah, that didn't happen
he over dosed
he died sitting in someones car, in a parking lot
he died alone
he didn't have his ID or anything to identify him
so for 2 days I thought he was out partying
when in all actuality he was in a freezer
