Heroin

Heroin is like a poisonous snake, slithering along seeing what it can take, Truth is it takes all that it can, off a neighbour, a friend, or even your nan Heroins not fussy in who it will burn, and it never does seem to learn It says sorry then does it some more, takes what it needs just to score It takes your smile the sparkle in your eye, it takes the sunshine from your sky It turns your blue sky into grey, it brings sorrow to every day You think it's ok because it's made you numb, but what has it took from your sisters, your mum It's taken money possessions diamonds and rings, Anything of value - it takes these things It leaves destruction in its wake, leaves sadness in what it does take But it takes their smiles and sparkle too, But most painfully- it takes you Painfully written many years ago, it’s great to look back from a much better place as she continues her recovery
