The Tune of Devil's Harp

i only wanted a try or two, but i did three, four, five and more… until my thoughts, body, and soul were trapped by the x and y of desire i wandered alone in the dreary glen, where cold and tears were a blink away… i only wanted a try or two and promised myself i’d not taste again, but i hardly said goodbye, adieu, ciao to a drug-crazed life, until one day i read the headline: teen died, dancing in the tune of devil’s harp
