Love and Other Drugs

There are 2 things I don't take

1) Drugs

2) Boys who don't treat me right.

You've proven to be both.

I was addicted to you

You pumped through my veins

Driving me insane

Making everything plain in relation

You were a deviation 

From the things of natural creation

I normally consumed

I smoked you and your fumes devoured me

Along with all the clarity

And self control I once had

You were a drug

And you had me bad

Investing my days to obtain you

Averting my gaze to refrain you

Down my avenue

So now you want to grab and adore me

After you stabbed and ignored me

After I let you explore me

And floor me

No

You cannot grasp my waist

No

You cannot look at this face

Because it will just be another thing you'll displace

You're nothing

But something

That needs to be replaced

Because you are in my space

We were once in a three legged race

And you crossed the finish line without me

So don't doubt me

I am the independent 

Descendant of Artemis and Hermes

I'm going to shoot you down and fly away

Smirk as you drown

As your clothes begin to fray

Because you submerged me

Held my hand and begged me to stay

Then asked someone else to prom

And I'm not going to watch this love marathon

Of how you lead me on

Then leave me in a forgotten alley

I'm trying to rally all the strength I've stored

To avoid this hoard of regret

How upset I am that I let myself get hurt

By consuming you

And thinking your benefits were worth

The turns of turmoil you delivered

How your symptoms were pains and shivers

Making my work mere quivers of their predecessors

I don't know who dealt you 

But I want a return

Because you are unacceptable

And for girls like me who are respectable

There are 2 things we don't take

You were both

And my greatest mistake.
