Analysis of I won't drink it. I won't smoke it.
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Warning.
I've tasted it before.
I'll let it sit there.
See.
I did it again.
Not counting the days.
Not checking the clock.
I just know.
I won't drink it.
I won't smoke it.
I'm not addicted.
I never was.
I never will be.
I never felt it's affects.
Just the aftermath.
