From the addicts pen flows
pain and loss and confusion
pride and ego and illusion
How many words will it take
to untangle the web that
ensnares my fate
From this pen comes my lifeblood
my last stand
my hope
From this pen spills my soul
tortured
and broke
Ink flows from my pen
like blood from my veins
I write and I write
my sorrow it drains
Without this pen
I fear I’d be lost
Without this pen
I tremble the cost
