Jslambert Mister Roboto Poet Rhyme

-------------------------Double D Trouble----------

BITTEN
script meant to be breaking
look at her lips
dried spit
prescriptions she's taking
ABUSE
refused to drape pages of her dictionary 
barely coherent 
glaring down the barrel of scary
HOSPITAL 
doctor hopping non stopping
flop house drop out 
promethazine shopping

Little's off limits 
when spending for a fix
resembles chicks kickin' it 
in ***** flicks
GROAN
gripping brand new afflictions
contradiction slips in 
feeding needy addictions
BAGS
dark circles under eyes
hurriedly she scurries 
lures 'em in 
WITH 
powder and lies
NIGHT
simile for syringe
when fun packs it in
pouting begins 
just as the binge ends
SHAMELESS 
mosquito suck
she bites what's sweet 
for a crisp fifty 
gets on her knees
and gives you
something neat

Bitten script
meant to be breaking
take in love
the sum of her faking

She's no longer in trouble
but the definition of trouble
run away baby
don't make it double. >

Poet Destroyer A June 19, 2014 at 2:38 PM Hi JSLambert, Back when In my teens, and late 20 I knew many like this. I never understood why, a person could stand in such a life, ..a life that takes everything from the unwilling soul. To shame, the body, by destroying a God forsaken temple. I won't have it, I can't stand it... I hope none of this becomes a life, my kids will one day live. Awesomely done..Linda

Carolyn Devonshire June 19, 2014 at 10:11 AM This is a powerful poem, my friend. It's sad that many people become addicted to drugs and can't break the habit by themselves. Even interventions sometimes fail. It's best not to try the stuff. Hope this didn't happen to someone you know! Love, Carolyn

Andrea Dietrich June 18, 2014 at 3:12 PM Yes, she better not make it double trouble. I enjoyed your play on that expression!! (and the D reference. haha) It's really good to see you again here at Soup. Where have you been all this time??
