Addiction



Waxy white withered face

Bruised blue beneath your eye

You really have to stop this now

Or you’re really going to die



You come down hard from euphoria

Every single time

So why put yourself through it

Pretending that you’re fine



I’ve seen the way you get

When you haven’t had your ‘fix’

You fall to your knees crying

Fall down like a tonne of bricks



Your hair hangs all tangled

Greasy and smelling weird

You’ve changed so much its unreal

The old you’s disappeared



You lay dormant for days

Don’t hear from you at all

You don’t answer your door

Or answer any of my calls



I know that you’re in

Because sometimes I can see you

You’ve become so anti-social

You haven’t a clue



Please just stop doing it

Your life is seriously in danger

An addiction like that

Can make you a stranger.



It can wreck your life

Unless you over-come it

You’ve got to stay strong

Swallow your pride and quit.
