My Codeine Addiction

My Codeine Addiction

I love to watch you dissolve,
Your particles cloud this once clear water, filling it with a blizzard of bliss

I sip and stir, whisking up your heavy white rocks and watch them settle, like hail, freezing my pain

I'll deal with your side effects later 
It's now that I want you
​​​​​To Dilate my pupils and help me escape
Lifes monotonous rhythm

Im dancing with your bitter sin
Licking the rim of my crystal cup
Painting my tounge in chemical phosphate

Fuck ye, it's great

Once a week I purchase 
Your glimmering red and gold box 
Everything about your packaging is aimed at my addictive personality

The pharmacist knows I'm abusing yet he will sell it to me anyway.

I'm part of the pharmaceutical industry, suckling from the machine.
Slowly killing myself and lifes perfect dream.

I'm a slave, but I like these chains.
In the eyes of my peers, codeine addiction leaves very few stains.

Hi GERARD!!.....I know where you're coming from!!......So easy to justify when you're dealing with serious pain issues to simply say "I'll deal with the side effects later!".......you REALLY did a great job with this subject matter......from the packaging to the idea that ~ "Codeine addiction leaves very few stains" where your peers are concerned. The Pharmaceutical Companies REALLY do have "Way too much power" in this reality and has you in this situation which is truly a tragic scenario playing out right in front of everyone's eyes.......ALL STARS!!.....VERY informative write my friend!!......LOVE & ROCKETS!!......T xo ?✴❤

Hi Tony, these words have been lingering in my head for a very long time and I'm happy to say, I am no longer addicted to codeine, I wanted to write this as a reminder to myself, of my past and the mistakes I made.

My beautiful wife helped me in this dark time, the side effects became a serious problem. To the extent were I didn't know who I was, I wanted to share with my friends the dangers of Addiction, even something so mild as codeine.

Thanks for your support Tony.
