Addiction From the Outside - Heroins Reprisal

Shadow of silence darkness abounding
Cloak of disruption anger surrounding
Awaiting the moment of disaster to prey
Tumultuous faces turning astray

Resilience bequeathed, resistance absurd
Arduous path vindicating the urge
Death at the narrows, helps ease all the pain 
Teeth clenched and gnashing the tourniquet strains

Concoction unknown sizzles its guile
The ply of the stamp offers up smiles
A concave of filth welcomes the flame
The warmth of the demon enters the vein

The endorphins rush offset by the guilt
A sorrowful soul so slowly killed
The darkness of death offers escape
Retention of those, who'll yet meet their fate

Thanks M.P. Shaudd. Herion addiction is taking my life. Not the way that sounds. It has a grip on my son. Your poem spoke volumes to my soul. Blessed be my friend.
