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
