Broken Like the Glass
Once upon a piece of glass
Glimmer of light
True Identity crumbling
Poison eating her alive
Ravishing that which she was
Into the void she is now
Never eating, rags loose on diminished proportion
Breathing deep the toxin, lips meet glass
Deadly mist like venom, suffering her own bite
Watch as her life ignites, eyes bright
Subdued, faulter, tremble, eyes constant to the glass
Addiction cultivated over many a night
For so long , she tries to deny, meth total control
Her body, her mind, her soul
Minutes, hours, days, one in the same
Tattered, everything loved, torn
Her once bright flicker of life
Burning low, Burning dim, no glimmer, no glow
Her eagerness to shine replaced
Toxic vision has its way
Scared, alone, years pass by
Love, warmth, caring no more
Reach grasp anything real
Just as the glass, Just as she
Empty------Stained-------Broken
Remembering time warmed before
Attention, loved, owning a heart
Driven away, cruelty, intentional pain
A cost more precious than life
Lost, out of control, still breathing the cloud
The cloud called meth
Now just as the glass, just as the glass
Empty-----Stained-----Broken
