Broken Promise

A personal poem of mine. I mean not that personal as I am sharing it on here, I hope you enjoy.

The rizla, the roach, the grinder, the weed,

Picking out stems, the sticks, the seed.

The fold, the roll, the lick and the twist,

My one true flaw that I just can’t resist.

 

I said to my lady, I would do it no more,

A month has now gone and I’m not feeling so sure.

The promise I made will be broken tonight,

By this rolled up joint that I just need to light.

 

She’s tucked up in bed, I’m sure she won’t hear,

As I sneak out the door to where she’s nowhere near.

Rip, light, toke and breath in,

The rush to the head, the big Cheshire grin.

 

Relaxed, mellow, chilled, high,

But the feeling of guilt that just won’t pass me by.

Paranoia will start in five minutes or ten,

Convincing myself I’ll get caught once again.

 

Obsessed, convinced, that I’m actually an addict,

To this class C drug, oh the feeling of panic.

I finish the spliff, stub it out on the floor,

A sea of emotions as I stand by the door.

 

I lied to my girl, said I could stop any time,

1 month went by and I’m back getting high.

But it’s only a spliff, not skag or cocaine,

Now I’ll keep smoking until I get caught once again.

 

I feel at times that I could stop it for sure,

But the urge just comes back, even more than before.

They say that with weed that you cannot get hooked,

But if you believe that, then look at me… LOOK.

haaaa! i used to smoke a lot of weed, and i mean a lot, probably some of the happiest days of my life in retrospect but then i had kids and thought i'd better stop. there is nothing to beat the high, turn up the sounds, chill for a while and i love the different perspective you get, everything seems very different somehow. i don't think you need to give it up if you enjoy it but the lying's not good, she should let you really. thank you for the chuckle though- things are always twice as good if you'e not supposed to do them! fantastic.
