He sits on the couch
And watches T.V

He has it wrapped in his hands
Like it’s just a coffee

But what’s inside
Can ruin lives

The poison speaks for him
“I’ve only had two.”

While his daughter is quietly suffering inside

Its taken control

No need for help
He says he’s fine

But the poison, is still alive
