Octavia
Her name’s Octavia and I love her to death She kisses my mouth, she slows my breath She’s bad for me, yet I can’t stay away I can’t be saved no matter how much I pray She helps me with everything she knows my pain She’ll never have a scent; she’ll never leaves a stain She knows how to control me; she’s like my second brain Now I’m addicted to her, like I’m on cocaine We started off innocent we thought it was lust I fell in love with her, and she broke my trust But I can’t be mad at her; she can kill me at any time I can’t replace her, no matter how much I rhyme I’m addicted and I haven’t seen her in a while A day is when we last met; a day’s when I last smiled She controls my happiness; she controls my life She is the reason why I can never find a wife She kisses me, while her hands holds a knife Yes, she controls me. Yes she controls my life I thought I could leave her, but has me chained by the feet I know I can’t please her, but I know I can’t cheat If she ever finds out, she’ll stop my heart right then and there She has all the edge she needs; she plays so unfair She can find someone else; but I know I wont ever She is as smart as me, but she’s really fucking clever She tricked me into thinking I was in control Now she has me trapped in a trap hole She tricked me so hard she’s such a troll If she ever reads this, she will eat me whole So I only kiss her but I’ll never have sex She’s way too powerful; she’s the leader of my congress All my decisions are made through her My life without her is a complete blur I know I fucked up I know she was dangerous I thought she was vegetarian, but she’s carnivorous She will eat you and shit you out She will drown you in water pull you out She’s everywhere in me, she’s even in my snout She’s trapped me in a net like a helpless trout I ask for forgiveness I ask her for mercy She laughs and kicks me; she makes me so thirsty She dries my throat; I’ll beg her for water She is burning me whole; the fire keeps getting hotter But I’m stronger than her and I will beat her someday She has to go soon or else she’ll stay
And if she lives here she’ll stay forever I’ll never get my head straight I’ll be dead by November She can’t win this fight I must stay focused If I ever give up I’ll know my prognosis Guaranteed death, and certain psychosis So I’ll try to let her go, before I become defenceless If I don’t let her go, she’ll beat me senseless I’ll lose the fight and I’ll die without a warning Oxycodone, please be gone by the morning.
