How can I compete?
With that super high you get from the street

How can I compete?
When it is not the love of your daughter you seek

I watch helplessly as you destroy your life
Shooting that stuff in your arm
Paying not with cash but the ultimate sacrifice
     Your existence….

How can I compete?
When it is this drug you idolize

How can I compete?
When in actuality I am finding harder and harder to even empathize

I beg for you to please leave it alone
Or soon everything you love will be gone
  Including me….

How can I compete?
When I could never make you that good or that high

How can I compete?
When all I have is my love to offer to get you by

I walk away now for I can no longer watch this destroy you
No longer contribute to the likes of this drug voodoo

How can I compete?
As long as you know of its love I do not exist

How can I compete?
When not of my love do you seek but for its companionship you persist

Know that I love you that always will be true
But I can't watch your life wasted until this love for it destroys you

How can I compete?

Why should I have to…..
