Serenity In Meth

Serenity’s Meth
Flick the lighter
Flame nears the bottom 
Heat slowly melts crystals together
Turning crystals into liquid

Lips pressed against the glass
Inhale what you changed
Exhale on top of the world

Fell the rush as the world is absorbed
Anticipation grows as the lighter passes
Flick of the lighter
Flame nears the bottom

Addiction grows in the dark
Self control begins to cease
Mind body and life

Time has no concept 
Slowly things that mattered are no more
Flick of the lighter
Dissipating the beginning

Eagerness to inhale and exhale
Vision becomes cloudy
Rounds pass by
It’s empty

Mind body and life return
WHO AM I?
WHAT HAVE I BECOME?
EMPTY LIKE YOUR GLASS!!
Written by an amazing woman in an uncertain time

Broken Like the Glass

Once upon a piece of glass
Glimmer of light
True Identity crumbling
Poison eating her alive
Ravishing that which she was
Into the void she is now

Never eating, rags loose on diminished proportion
Breathing deep the toxin, lips meet glass
Deadly mist like venom, suffering her own bite

Watch as her life ignites, eyes bright
Subdued, faulter, tremble, eyes constant to the glass
Addiction cultivated over many a night
For so long ,  she tries to deny, meth total control
Her body, her mind, her soul

Minutes, hours, days, one in the same
Tattered, everything loved, torn
Her once bright flicker of life
Burning low,  Burning dim, no glimmer, no glow

Her eagerness to shine replaced
Toxic vision has its way
Scared, alone, years pass by
Love,   warmth,   caring no more
Reach grasp anything real 
Just as the glass, Just as she 
Empty------Stained-------Broken

Remembering time warmed before
Attention, loved, owning a heart
Driven away, cruelty, intentional pain
A cost  more precious than life
Lost, out of control, still breathing the cloud
The cloud called meth

Now just as the glass, just as the glass
Empty-----Stained-----Broken
