Heroin Hero

Alone; as you lie on your bed The stars brighten, serene Such an ecstatically lovely scene While these visions float in your head Imagining hues of purple: divisions of colorful red Teardrop sparks sprinkle the room All around in sweetness croon The words unheard, not said. Beauty beheld in radiant eyes In you resides the strength of Achilles Though at war within your smile is silly All and sundry cries A child unknown, underlies This babe: birthed in the lion’s den Whimpering song of saddened sin Precious glowing guise. A moments life on a dealers rate Mommy’s whoring liquid lance Living within your secret trance Ungodly was to procreate Yet yours is to a tempted fate To feel, to float, to steal a scream A life conceived within a dream With this are you given another date. Heaven awaits sweet heroin hero Innocent babe with your precious grin What you have now is only ten Seconds counted backwards to zero Alone to dwell in your place of limbo A pasture for you, a bed of clouds One more broken breath allowed Goodbye sweet heroin hero.
