The Drugs

A poem comparing the use of drugs with a love affair.

The Drugs


And in the end
calculations are made,
money is counted,
worth is decided.

Options have to be weighed,
"Quit the drugs
or I'm leaving you."
Another breakable breaks.

The drugs, they are
expensive.
So is she.

She makes me feel,
the way I want to feel.
And so do they.

In the end,
I know she's the only
reason I exist.

And the only reason
they do, too.
