Misery

by Stargrrl/Libra - Not entered

Somebody told me once
That bad girls go everywhere
So why the hell am I lying in the gutter
Licking my wounds with despair

They said that heroin could make you fly
That it could make you forget who you are
So why the fuck am I crawling in the street
My body all covered with scars

The needle became my lover
And the needle became my best friend
But when they told me to tie my arm
They didn't tell me when the pain would end

I look at the track marks on my arms
And I begin to ask myself why
The very thought used to terrify me
Now I just pray to god that I'll die

I think about my life and then I try
To think just where things went wrong
And then I decide to forget about it
Cause it's just a matter of time 'til I'm gone
