Probably until Death

Habits that built of that grey sky
Started with sharing a simple bottle
Not very soothing but its different today
Packs that were passed around
Kept my distance for only so long
When curiosity came in and wonder settle
Now I am left chasing highs
By one means or the other
Worst of all cursed with a body that can't even handle
Better yet blessed with the self-sabotaging nature of my life
Even with my bad luck, I still haven't died
3 close calls and all I can do is wonder wtf did I do to live this long
Bones that are weaker than dust
Muscles tensed like a doll
Mind on its last stems of hope
Give me another puff
Then back to blissful silence
Backs to heartwarming numbness
I am too in over my head
A busy train of thoughts
My feet wobble as I try to remember
The layout of this home I have been in
No one was there to see my pathetic face
Streamlined with tears and a bloody nose
The stubbornness that leads me to death
Cradled by the thought of self-sabotage
Sink water was always this cold?
Makeup running off along with the tears
Pain in my mind, pain in my chest, just pain
Huh, it's been a while since I have been here
Caressing my face
Trying to see through blurry vision
Someone, I thought I had buried
Someone I knew was equally a part of me
"I am not embarrassed by you!" I yell
That was a lie, no matter how loudly I deny it
Coughed up all the lies with blood
Somehow found ice in the barren fridge
Laying on the cold hard floor
While my mind continues to race along
How long will we stay here avoiding ourself
"Probably until death" I sighed
While I take the last one out of the packet
