Overdose Poem by Bryony Sheldon

Don't smoke no cigarettes,
Don't drink no booze,
But you gotta understand
That I'm just a man-
And a man can sometimes lose.

Well, I been workin' 14 hours-
Can barely afford to stay alive.
But then you came a-walkin' in,
A little thing dressed like sin,
Had me losin' my worked up mind.

There was nothing I could do…
I overdosed on you…

You had something I needed
(Who'd thought I could be saved?) .
Your love and affection
Started an addiction
That they'll have to write on my grave.

Love is a Class A drug
And I just need me a little bit more-
I just need my daily injection,
You're like a kinda infection
‘Cept I don't wanna find no cure.

You really pulled me through…
Now I've overdosed on you!
