Jessica

You have left me:
Happy, spiritual, able to fly
Invincible, numb, light as a feather
Ready for the world, gracious, someone new
Generous, shaded, needed, loved
Rejuvinated, bathed, reborn, cherished
Wanted, held, comforted, warm,great...
 
You have left me:
Broke, ugly, smelly,mean
A criminal, hated, feared
Unwanted, miserable, homeless
Childless, lifeless, in the cold
With nothing, Scared, heartless
Careless, meaningless, hurting
Shacking, sick, ill, undeniable pain...

How can 1 thing
1 single thing make you feel so good yet so bad

Heroin
Most of all
You have left me dead

Well contemplated and nicely written, but I dislike the question beginning with "how" at the end.
