How Shel Silverstein Saved My Life

My soul mate turned out to be a pillhead
he was quite pathetic towards the end
 
always stealing and taking my shit
one day he wanted something as usual  
 
I said NO hell fuck NO
then looked at me all silly like  
 
he then said "the giving tree is finally a stump"
I stood with my back to him
 
I felt like an active volcano about to explode
I could feel my face turn red
 
a stump?
the giving tree?
 
I had no idea he even knew of Shel Silverstein
or the giving tree
 
Fucking Pill Collins never ceases to amaze
a stump, that little bitch thought of me as the tree
 
always giving until it had nothing left to give
Pilly no mates made my head spin
 
in that moment, I realized I was being used
used for years
 
what Drooly Andrews didn't know was that the stump
was going to uproot herself
 
Mr.Vicodin dick would soon be alone
to wallow in his nothingness by his lonesome  
 
a fucking stump that's me
I'd rather be the stump then Blob Seger all pilled out
 
laying around drooling on myself all day fucking long
in a drug induced daze
 
its funny that the most intelligent thing he ever said to me
was the straw that broke the camels back
 
I stumped him, I fucking left
thank you Shel Silverstein you saved my life
 
what if those words were never uttered?
If is the devils word.....
 
 
~~~~Moral Of The Story~~~~
Junky Brewster ended up alone
probably sitting on a stump somewhere, thinking about a tree.
