(fyi, 54/543 - the numbers on the roxicet painkiller, which started me on my path of addiction - this is the story of my life using up to this day...thanks in advance for reading, P)


5-4…5-4-3
You were my love
You set me free

1-2…3-4-5
Swallow this instant
I feel alive

6-7…8-9-10
My love is waning
Try again and again

Losing count…add 2 ‘pins’
I need you greatly
I can no longer win

5-4…5-4-3
Got rid of you
Can’t meet my needs

Dilaudid 10’s
My new found love
Up the ante once again

10…20…30, add a drink
I’m out of control
I can no longer think

Cannot count – nothing’s left
Your lies glisten my body
In streams of sweat

Pretty ‘dollies’ 1-2-3
What on earth
Is happening to me?

2 tiny bags of cellophane
I use to numb
The incessant pain

5-4…3-2-1
It has to end
I’ve come undone

1-2-3…steps like lead
The love I knew
Will no longer be fed

Onward now…4-5-6
Remember the pain
Quicksand so thick

1 year…move ahead
You were never my love
You wanted me dead

19 days…2 years for me
A watchful eye evermore
On my recovery

Infinitely an addict
Although now clean
Never can I ever forget

5-4…5-4-3
You are always there
Waiting for me

i know so well it could be gone in an instant if i make the wrong choice
