He is my counter-drug
Strumming his guitar
He puts me into a daze
Every string he plucks pains me
Like the stab of a syringe
Raw---for a moment---
Then Saccharine
As his venomous melody
Pours through my soul
He sings to me in a soothing tone
Lulling me into treacherous security
Love; Understanding
And I find myself forgetting,
The wind, the cold, but most of all....
I have forgotten you....
You, who were my first
And for a time my only
I devoted my life to you,
My first drug.
Addicted to you,
Like a drunkard is to his wine
Needing you,
Like a fish without water
But you are forgotten now.
He pulls another string,
And the world recedes
He strums a chord,
And all sadness washes away
Nothing is left now
Nothing but the ecstasty filling my soul,
Prompting my heart
To burst with song!
I soar now!
As fast as a falcon,
As free as the wind!
The music stops,
And I am grounded.
But the dream is not gone
I hear his singing still,
Resounding in my ears; my mind; my soul
A low hum deep within me
Warming me from the inside out
I will shelter it---keep it---wherever I go
Until the next time I need it
Until the next time
I am drowning in the darkness
That was our love
Now I fight drugs with drugs
Poison with poison
Old love with new love
He is my counter-drug,
My antidote for you
