Convalescence
“I don’t need any more counseling…”
Okay, I’ll admit it
You were my drug of choice
I was so hooked on you
I damn near lost my voice
Couldn’t sleep most nights
There were times I needed you
For late night hits
Just to get through
Forget cold turkey
I thought I had an endless supply
You were a harmless addiction
One I couldn’t deny
Never thought I’d ever
Have to come down off that high
But when my source got cut off
I thought I’d surely die
At first I didn’t want you
My friends told me to stay away
But I had to try it once
I still remember that day
On a Friday morning
I decided to skip class
You came by and gave me an offer
One that I couldn’t pass
Held it in my hands
I took a whiff
It Smelled exquisite
So I took a sip
Then that was it
Once was all it took
Too late to resist
By then I was hooked
On some freaky, Sneaky
Creepy
Type
of Ish
Had me licking, Biting, Sucking
And scratching
Begging for another hit
So yeah I can admit it
You WERE my drug of choice
But I’m fresh out of rehab
Without a shred of remorse…
