A Fatal Friendship

I’ll wait on street corners, down dark, shady lanes.
In clubs I’ll be found there -to just entertain.
You think me a friend, and at first -maybe  so,
but the more I’m your friend , the less you let me go.
You had me for free, just a taster or two,
but once I’m inside  I'll take over you.
You’ll  think of me always not occasionally,
but each waking moment – you’ll never be free!
The person you were will be lost on the way,
your life will be mine,you’ll do just as I say.
I’ll make you tell lies, make you cheat and despair,
you’ll  give up your loved ones  ’cause you just wont care.
At night you can’t sleep and the demons will call,
with shakes and the sweats- yes you will have them all.
The person you were doesn’t give half a shit,
you’ll sell your own soul for just one single hit.
Your hair is unkempt and you never wash now,
you pray to escape but you’ve no will- no how!
No matter how many times you have  been told
you shouldn’t have let me get near, get a hold!
You do not exist any longer – you’re mine,
destroying your life makes me feel oh so fine!
I’m now in your schools and your kids are my aim.
I’ll  soon be their friend  and they’ll end up the same,
as long as temptation is taken, not fought,
I’ll make them forget everything they’ve been taught.
I have become the new plague of mankind,
Once I am your friend you leave your life behind!
