Margaret Remick Poet Lyric

Heroin

Heroin is your lover!
I am your Mother.
You choose her over me.
She beckons and calls you by name,
and you run to her with open arms
leaving me behind to weather the storms of
betrayal, anger, jealousy
I wear my crown of thorns while you bask in your lovers glow
She is not your true lover .
She is a thief!
She is sucking the life from you sure and slow
While I watch her turn you and twist you
Into someone even you or I don't want to know.

Jan Allison May 27, 2019 at 5:57 AM So powerfully penned those first 2 lines certainly pack a punch, an absolutely heartbreaking scenario Margaret and the cycle of addiction is so hard to break :-( hugs Jan xx Margaret Remick May 27, 2019 at 7:10 AM Thank you. Ive read your poems, too. They're all so good.
