Be the change you want to see in the world.


I remember when I was 14
You were out of high school.
You wanted me.
You liked me.
I let you.
You drove me around,
You gave me addiction.
Calling you at night,
I heard heroin boiling in your throat.
You told me you loved me.
You'd come back to get me.
You told me I should run away with you,
Where ever you were going.
But how would my life turn out?
What if that quiet little girl followed you?
You filled me with love and laughter
You proved to me you were worth it,
That you were worth everything.
That night I called you crying,
When everything went downhill,
You told me you'd come to get me.
Where was I?
I don't know.
Was I okay?
I don't know.
I made you let me go.
Your name was Jeff,
You loved me so.
But I was 14,
And you were too old.

When I was younger, I knew an addict. He made me believe he was safe. But I think I knew better, so I stopped talking to him.
