Fast forward one year. Her first of many departures.

Annie & My Arrogance

Simple disagreements causing you to flee
I wish you had seen this just as clear as me. Curtains closing and they're throwing roses at your feet I wish you had seen this just as clear as me. I watched your eyes glaze over, high on morphine and misery I watched the drugs take over, as your dependency made history I foresaw this coming, darling, you are just not quite the mystery, We both know once you are sober, that is when you're missing me. I can watch you leave, and I can still get high, I can do everything alone that we did, you & I. I can get drunk on the beach, I can get lost in the sky, I can do everything alone that we did, you and I. Lonely hearts plead for solace, lonely minds pray for change, It's the only way that we'll be keeping sane. The agrestic see no polish, the divine rely on faith, Sometimes the only feat is to sustain. Annie, where are you going? Seems you left your heart at home, Seems there is no place for it beneath that skin and bone. Annie, how are you leaving across bridges you have blown? When you haven't friends that you can call your own? Annie, darling, baby, darling, this just isn't you, Annie, sweetheart, did you think this through? Annie, darling, baby, darling, is there nothing I can do? To make you see, without me, there is no you? Frankly, Ann, you are leaving about all you have to lose. Frankly, all of your lifelines have been used. Oh! Annie, dollface, baby, darling, is there room for more than two? Because you can take all of these skeletons with you. Although the dead can't help the dead, so what will you do? |

I would just like to say I am not out to win a popularity contest, but none of this reflects the person I am today. If you are passing judgement on me based on my work, you can stop here. This is just the beginning. We were relentlessly cruel to each other during our active addiction, and I recorded years of it in poetry and diary entries word for word, and I will not be censored. I would like everyone to know the full effect addiction has on every aspect of life.
