Dboy

Scramble, coke, or smack..

Keep them junkies coming back.

The dope so good

she damn near had a heart attack. 

You sold her scramble, coke, and smack..

I’ll probably never get her back.

Smoked her pain away,

swallowed her tears,

shot up her fears.

Using her charm to deceive,

lies laced her purple lips:

“I love you until my last breath,

until the mermaids sing their song.”

“The reason why I breathe.” 

Lined them up one by one

shot for shot

until they were all gone.

She loved it raw.

Men, liquor, drugs…

I can’t compete with that.

Learning to accept what I can’t change.

Like what looks back at me in the frame

or

the faint sound of your voice

when I decide to hide my tears,

during the times I needed you the most.

“Always be strong.”

Will my kids ever know your name?

“grandma.”

I pray one day you get to see

how many you’s came from your womb.

The one you abuse,

letting them come inside of you.

Pain… pain go away.

It greets you every morning,

So you stay asleep waiting until nightfall.

The forecast predicts snow white pure cocaine.

They also paid me a visit,

I am what’s left of you.
