Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Dramatic Monologue

- Drugs - Devil's Last Words

Pain and betrayal
                                          It is so easy to say:
                                          Time will heal all wounds
                                          The soul and heart is empty
                                          Do not ask me to go ahead
                                          A worn out body, but still young
                                          Can feel my blood fizz
                                          but do not feel alive
                                          Hope disappeared
                                          Promises were broken
                                          Tears
                                          Yes, I know
                                          Can no longer look you in the eye
                                          I have failed
                                          Do not deserve your consideration
                                          I hate myself and my miserable life
                                          One time I was real
                                          Now a shadow of myself
                                          Dishonest and a disgrace
                                          Leave me alone
                                          Give me money for my last needlestick
