&quot;it&#039;s better to be hated for who you are, than to be loved for what your not...&quot;<br /> &quot;life isn&#039;t measured by the number of breaths you take but by the number of moments that take your breath away&quot;

That's my rope take it please,
stares at the rope then back at me,
eyes of rubies stolen away,
lost they are and far away,
grab the rope please you must,
bits of him turn to dust,
I call his name, shout and scream,
but he only turns away from me,
I hear another call his name,
seductive whisper calling me the same,
the rope please take it now,
he sees the rope bending down,
there in his hands I start to pull,
loose, he only lets the rope go through,
the addictive voice comes to knock,
he turns to answer, the door he unlocks

The author's comments:
I wrote this about how strong the addiction of drugs is. It's a little bit personal, but it shows that sometimes even when we show our love and say we can help, they choose the drug instead of us. But you can also look at it from a different point of view; not about drugs.
