"A Lilly"

Trading one addiction for another
Love for alcohol for methamphetamine
Filling a void long since forgotten
What will be the next exchange?
If I don’t get the help I need

One day a Lilly fell across my path
Was she a premonition or something fleeting?
She was beat down from the crowd
Drained of substance
Would I look the same?
Holding a Lilly
In a grave alone one day

Her story had similar exchanges
Just switching heroin for another high
Is her unknown void the same as mine?
Where will her exchanges lead?
Or could we both end up the same

One day a Lilly fell across my path
Was she a premonition or something fleeting?
She was beat down from the crowd
Drained of substance
Would I look the same?
Holding a Lilly
In a grave alone one day
