| Life Lessons Series: Last Dance with Mary Jane - Onika L. Dainty |
Life Lesson #10
We danced all night
So close I kissed you.
We spent years together
And now I miss you.
Mary Jane you broke my spirit
Time and time again.
I have come to the conclusion that
You were never my friend.
With a toke then a smoke
My mind was cleared.
With a toke and a smoke
I lost all that was dear.
You are a destructive force
I can dance with no more.
The bodies you killed
Are buried under the floor boards.
We laughed and we cried
You were my salvation.
Until I cried and I screamed
Over my ruination.
I must say goodbye to you
My destructive friend.
I must say goodbye before
My beautiful life ends.
I am on the verge of greatness
And you are holding me back.
I am in a war with myself
I am under attack.
If I let you back in
That will be my end.
I will toke and then smoke
And think you’re my friend.
I will laugh in numbness
Afraid to face the truth.
That you are a monster
Uncivilized and uncouth.
So goodbye Mary Jane
Our time is at an end.
I realized too late
You were never my friend.
