No More Next Times

The whole house was dim Only the oven flames burning We couldn't find you Our blood began churning We scoured each room Our heartbeats are yelling To find you alone Deranged and repelling You stink of poison It seeps through your skin An odor so potent So easy to pin I smell the resin Of two day old sweat Your eyes somehow open With no signs of regret A vision of a junkie No more and no less To weak to confront it Just claim duress Your cheeks sunken deeply Thinned to the bone Straggly haired A look made of stone Lips dried to crust Feverishly dehydrated Spoke like a child Eyes blank and dilated The sirens grew closer You resisted the aid I promised you solace But you can’t be afraid A few hours later You were awake I begged of you To know what’s at stake You created two angels That will surely turn sour Blame it all on yourself Its their souls you’ll devour When the urges arise Remember the day We found you alone JUST A HEARTBEAT AWAY
