Spiraling Down Into Addiction
I hate this time of day!
Mom is leaving
will she ever come back
little girl in the hospital bed
crying herself to sleep
sip sip drink drink
will I ever get well
I am so afraid!
I am disappearing
into the pain
sip sip drink drink
will I ever be happy
Fill the Fucking Time!
endless hours
stretching out before me
day and night
read mountains of books
about nothing
sit before the flickering
idol
Thank God for football!
Damn!
the season's almost over
I'll go into mourning
after the Super Bowl
sip sip drink drink
who can I rage at
now that the season is over
Oh Joy!
I have a new friend
he is so seductive
wrapping his arms around me
I float away
from all the pain
he lifts the shroud
of loneliness and fills me
with his intoxicating
presence
sip sip drink drink
I can't live without him
I'll make him mine
Christ!
I am tired all the time
except when I'm with him
he waits by my bed
I never succumb to him
before lunch
it gives me something
to look forward to
sleeping all morning
filling the fucking time
finally we are together again
we start slowly
sweet seduction
then we indulge in each other
completely
I am oblivious
to everything and everyone
save him
sip sip drink drink
I have him in my power
now
