addiction

Burning tears sting my cheeks Can't you see me Suffocating in the smoke The smoke that drowns out all your rationale Betrayed, heartbroken, lost You're too intoxicated to see my agony Too blinded to see your own pitiful reality Curled up in a corner Dreaming of a different life where the world's suffering doesn't poison the innocent souls of children It torments me to listen To your haggard breathing That seems to whisper help me I love you but i cannot save you
