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 Rx
