addiction safe drug
Muskaan Grewal (Age 16)
i'm heady on the midspring's night wine
made by the air through my window
it coalesces and drips down my throat
sweet as honey
i barely notice before i begin to choke
is this what it's like
heroin or molly
ecstasy grass crack
flowing through my veins
i can't bring myself
to bring myself back
fireflies are my dealers
slipping in between my lips
they infuse the air into my soul
drag it down to my hips
air spreads as sweet and thin as aerosol
i fall back into the night
fall back into the pool
i drown myself in air and water
trapped inside a fishbowl
see my reflection in the surface
damn i almost forgot her
made by the air through my window
it coalesces and drips down my throat
sweet as honey
i barely notice before i begin to choke
is this what it's like
heroin or molly
ecstasy grass crack
flowing through my veins
i can't bring myself
to bring myself back
fireflies are my dealers
slipping in between my lips
they infuse the air into my soul
drag it down to my hips
air spreads as sweet and thin as aerosol
i fall back into the night
fall back into the pool
i drown myself in air and water
trapped inside a fishbowl
see my reflection in the surface
damn i almost forgot her
