Bred from the same borough

Most of our lives separated by mere miles

That’s Brooklyn

From different cultures and lifestyles

Both damaged by childhood trauma

I became the addict

You became the target of all its wicked ways

Suffering the fallout of addiction from the ones we were raised

Confidence, self image

Burned and set ablaze

Fast forward to the twilight zone

Yes I mean the literal twilight zone

From living so close for most of our lives

Brought together by events we wished to forget

I spotted those bangs

At shift change

Rehab then numbers exchange

I knew the moment our chests touched

In your arms, I found my home
