You have left me: Happy, spiritual, able to fly Invincible, numb, light as a feather Ready for the world, gracious, someone new Generous, shaded, needed, loved Rejuvinated, bathed, reborn, cherished Wanted, held, comforted, warm,great... You have left me: Broke, ugly, smelly,mean A criminal, hated, feared Unwanted, miserable, homeless Childless, lifeless, in the cold With nothing, Scared, heartless Careless, meaningless, hurting Shacking, sick, ill, undeniable pain... How can 1 thing 1 single thing make you feel so good yet so bad Heroin Most of all You have left me dead

Well contemplated and nicely written, but I dislike the question beginning with "how" at the end.
