Two wrongs could never make a right.
A chapter in the book The Weight We Measure

Beginning Of The End

by Dopeless Hopefiend



Background
In this chapter I encounter feelings that drugs had inhibited for so long. The decision I make based on these feelings may prove to be life altering. Time will tell.

I have been building castles in sand, by the ocean - -
for the sidewalk is just too concrete.
And when the waves crashed ashore, my castle lye torn,
You appeared, and I never had felt so complete.

I was star struck, so beautiful, with the wind in the air - -
As it picked up the sand into strands of our hair.
She had held me so broken, and promised the world.
With my chest against hers, buried face in her curls.

My love is divided, between companion and substance,
But my companion IS substance, to me that's what love is.
She carried similar burdens, fought a relevant a battle.
Fell under the herd, and leaped back on the saddle.

I felt something the day, that I had been longing to feel
I felt love and felt loved, without judgement or appeal.
I felt I was safe, I felt no need to lie,
And for that very moment I did not need to get high.

I was never so honest, that night on the dunes,
Where we sipped on our tonics by the light of the moon.
Shoulder to shoulder, our toes lost in the sand
We walked by the water and she offered her hand;

She told me her secrets, professed all of her habits,
Made me feel I was needed, then confessed she's an addict.
She exploited my weakness, but vowed it never would beat us,
If only she had known I was as crazy as she was.

Still I would become her castle, in the sand by the ocean - -
She became my rose in concrete.
but when waves broke the shoreline, the sand we would fall on,
washed away and pulled us out to sea.

I wish I was there to protect her from me.
