Trusted Again, My Old Friend
Copyright, Leah
Today I was greeted by an old friend
He said a helping hand, he could lend
Foolish me trusted once more
And now things are as they were before
I thought that my friend had changed his ways
But now at his command my hand obeys
Addiction has now struck me down
And again my smile has turned to a frown
All because he said, "Hi there!"
Immediately I wanted to share
All the things that stressed me out
Came out of my head and flew about
He said that he would take the pain
And that I was one step from insane
So I decided to trust once more
And again at my wrist, the razor tore
Blood gushed out as relief came
But now my wrist looks the same
The same as only a month ago
How could I again, stoop so low?
Now I'm sure that trust is infantile
As up comes all of my past's bile
The more that spurts out of my mind
The more places to cut I find
All this because I trusted again
