To My Broken Addict

My dear friend, this won't last long. Life is long, this is but a moment of your time. You have wasted so much time. Think of how much time, time you have invested in this... The nights that never had an end, the cycle of endlessness to a destination of nowhere. She sucked you in, played you for a fool. But you let her. Her mystery drew you in. She was so dark, so alluring She found her way into your curiosities, Friends whispered her name in conversation. She was tempting, sexy, and so dark... You just wanted a taste, just wanted to know her smell. You remember the first time? She embraced your innocence. She sent you to the moon on a cloud filled with peace. Peace...so much peace. Ironic, isn't it? Considering later, she turns your world into chaos.. The first few months were great, she made you so happy. Colors were brighter, each song was sweeter... Until you really got to know her... At first her temper was mild. She was impatient, a little restless. Her obsession for you.. She started to be demanding... She wanted your money... all of it... She pushed everyone away... you were hers... She beat you down... until nothing was left... She changed you forever. Her name is hidden deep in the night. They call her Heroin. Once you are away, Your soul will heal Just keep your head up The shakes do stop.. The chills fade away.. The pain does end... You cannot rush a journey through hell otherwise it wouldn't be hell. But, there is a light at the end.. You get to live!
