Fentanyl



                                                Fentanyl  

I am small  

I cause fear that will grip you  

I am blue  

I will promise you the world  

I am strong  

I will cause you to feel a great many things  

I am white

I will help you relax  

I promise to not hurt you  

Just one  

That is all you need  

We can be friends  

I will help you  

Dizziness takes you  

Drowsiness binds you  

Shhh you are ok  

Lips blue  

Fingernail's blue  

I lied to you  

Heart rate dropping  

I will hurt you

I will make you limp  

You collapse  

Your weak  

Your tired  

Your gone  

I did not hurt you  

I killed you  

You took me into your arms  

Wanting a fun night  

You got scared  

But there is no hope now  

Hold up  

What is this

Narcan  

It is too late  

There not here in time  

Your one of mine  

I took your life and soul  

I lied  

I did cause pain  

Screams  

Wailing  

Begging  

Pleading  

Come back they cry  

Your mom on knees bent

Tears are being sent

Your son  

So tender  

So young  

Does not understand  

Where's daddy  

He cries  

I want daddy he demands  

I took him  

He is mine  

Your father screams out a lament  

My son, my son  

Not my son  

Was it worth it?

Oh, look the 6 o'clock news  

We made the headline  

We made the front page  

“Young teen found dead “  

This is you  

In the spotlight  

Remember what I said  

I will not hurt you  

I want to help you  

I lied  

I wrapped my deadly hands around the throat of your existence  

I squeezed it till it was mine  

But did I lie?

I did not hurt you  

I hurt those around you  

I hurt your mom  

I killed her to with pain  

I hurt your dad  

HE will never be the same  

I hurt your brothers  

Tho they are closer  

And your son learned to say no

So, my point  

Leave me alone  

Do not trust me  

I will lie to you  

I will break you  

I will hurt your friends  

I will hurt your family  

I will manipulate you  

I am small  

I am mighty  

I am strong  

I am blue  

I am white  

I will hide in the news at night  

And I will only come out in the daylight  

When someone else  

Lost my fight.
