Love and other drugs

Onterio T Pearson 1984 (United States)

Free verse
Love is a drug... But this time i wouldnt give her my arm... So we drifted in different directions... Because i couldnt give her a son... Said to death do us part... And i was so tempted to give her that gun... Saw that i was suffocating her... With the pillow talk... But wouldnt give her that lung... At the end of my rope... Lifeless as i swung...but I didn't see the blood on my hands... until I was asking god ...what have i done... Knowing i could never get back to love... but i why do i continued to run...
