Ruinous Remedy

Cold friction blinds the weak when pallid hands clench tight to volatile liquids that evaporate rapidly One's body passes off readily like acetone drops wading in poisoned waters and venom solvent drains putrid addiction, I purge out duration in each dying breath Obsession with an enslavement to kill, to run out of ideas to fail in recovery, because of fatal substances replacing the natural mind, depriving it from oxygen I lose all with one hit with one injection, with one overdose, consuming all narcotics to forget the past and erase any future with no antidote or cure I will subside in unconscious render to forgive any; even myself.
