What he did scarred his lips
Melted to the bone,his fingertips
What he did made me lose faith
Knowing he was not whole or safe
What did caused his mother fear
Crying,what went wrong these years
What he did took his life
And left me full of pain and strife

Loosely based off of the song by Nickleback "Just to get high" and when I say "based on" I mean I was listening to it when I got the idea.
