A Dose of Your Own Drug
  Phase One
  It’s sweet
  Like a Hershey’s chocolate bar
  The strong smell that others hate
  You find amazing
  The taste that makes others gag
  You can’t get enough of it
  It’s addicting
  Phase Two
  You recognize your addiction
  But you don’t care
  They try to send you to rehab
  But you don’t want to
  This is your life now
  Phase Three
  It starts to burn
  It hurts to breathe
  But you enjoy the pain
  It’s only temporary happiness
  Phase Four
  It’s killing you
  And you know it
  Everyone knows it
  You realize you don’t want to die
  You can feel your lungs collapsing
  Now you see that rehab is your only way out
  Phase Five
  Recovery
  You’re slowly getting better
  It’s easier to breathe now that you have let it go
  The smell now makes you sick
  And the taste makes you gag
  You wish you had listened to everyone sooner
  Final Phase
  The light bulb clicked
  He was dealing you these drugs
  That constant pain in your chest
  Was caused by him
  You now realize everyone has been telling you this
  Now that you are on the outside you can see it
  The big picture everyone spoke of
  Is now painted clearly
  The drug was your love
  Your love was your happiness
  But it snapped your heart in half
  All it did was destroy you
  Then you realize
  This is how he felt
  When you broke his heart
  He has been giving you the drug you gave him
  This was his revenge
  And he did a damn good job at it
