I made a promise that was dead from birth
A fire smoldering its own ashes, a slow, rotting earth
He asked me, please do this for me
Put the drugs away, set our sorrows free
I love you, but baby, I can’t let you do this
You are a different person, and it’s you that I miss
But I
Couldn’t do it though I
Promised
A broken promise
That I would
For him
I couldn’t
My life lies deadly, within that bottle
Waiting to seep into me and
Create something much more than
Meets the naked eye
And I
Cannot breathe
These pills in my hand
And
I cannot see
He knew what they did to me
He asked me, please do this for me
Put the drugs away, set our sorrows free
I love you baby, but I can’t let you do this
You are a different person, and it’s you that I miss
He made me promise, he made me swear
But at that point, I couldn’t care
I just loved that I could get that way
What bliss, not have to face that day, anyway
He begged me to stop, he cried those tears
And I
Couldn’t stop
My selfishness
And
Addiction
Shut his tears within a box
Though he begged
Please do this for me
Put the drugs away, set our sorrows free
I love you baby, but I can’t let you do this
You are a different person, and it’s you that I miss
Two years later I’m without this addiction
I’ve twisted the cap off this bottle of white
Dug deep inside to find
What used to be my life
What used to be me
I dug deeper still
Until I found
Who I was with him, buried within the ground
Lips sealed tight, unable to make a sound
I pulled her out, wrapped her within me
I watched him smile at me as he realized
That I had given it up, and I did it for him
I found his love meant
More to me than the drugs ever would
He knew I could
He believed in me more than anyone ever should
He loved me more than anyone would
I threw my addiction from my mind
And I tore myself from this painful bind
Buried myself within his arms
And his never ending love
I could swear he was sent from above
Because of him, because of
This
I am
Myself again
I remember him asking me
Please do this for me
Put the drugs away, set our sorrows free
I love you baby, but I can’t let you do this
You are a different person, and it’s you who I miss
Now he smiles at me, takes my hand within his
Presses his lips to mine and holds me tight, saying
I love you baby, you have come so far
I always believed in you, and everything you are

Author notes
I used to be addicted to Dramamine, and my boyfriend was not happy with this habit. It changed the person i was and who i am now. I regret the decisions i made with this drug. It can do horrible damage. The purpose of the pinky promise picture is just that. Whenever my boyfriend and i make promises, we pinky promise them, i know that may seem a little immature but it keeps our relationship interesting, and helps our love grow all the more everyday.
