wasted beauty

i cant remember the last time i heard about someone like you
you remind me of those forgotten vixens
the ones who constantly search for love
and can't handle the twist and turns
so you turn to drugs when you dont get attention
you drown the confusion of your emotions in every bottle or cup you can
or a blunt
or a pill
or some lean
whatever takes the pain away
whatever transports you to the next day
because you can't bear the pain any longer

why doesnt he love you the way you want him to?
why cant things just be the way you want them to be?
you love him
but you hate the way he treats you
you hate the way he makes you feel
then why do you still love him
why do you stay around
it doesnt have to be that way
but no one can make you see

that you deserve to be treated better
you should be inspired to experience the world more
versus spending your days and nights numb
someone should get you high off their energy
and you can become their favorite joy
a new addiction if you will
all the highs
and very few lows

but will you ever put down that glass
or put out that blunt
and see past the lies clear eyes is telling you

im scared for you
you dont see any limits
and it's only a matter of time
i just hope you dont slip too deep
and no longer have the ability to see

how beautiful you truly are
