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.
