Brodie's Corner,  Poems on Addiction

Drugs

I was dedicated to you, I gave you all that I had

But the way you did me is ruthless and sad

To have you, I’d do anything and go through any course

And all you did was sucked the life from me with no remorse

I’ve fought for you, stole for you, almost died for you

And when I couldn’t find you I was sick, sad and blue

But now I’m done with you, you no longer have that power over me

‘Cause I’ve changed my thinkin’ and the way it used to be

Now when you come to tempt me, I just take a knee

And thank God for setting this captive free
