The Devil's Finger

The Devil's Finger

Heroin is what you're called, but your not my "Heroine", my savior, my friend, your my worst sin! I call you "The Devil's Finger"! You point at me I drop on bended knee, cause of all that I'd do for you, there's never any end! Nothing I wouldn't do, I'm yours until the end!

Everyday I'd say "HEY NO MORE"! "YOU CAN'T HAVE ME, YOU BLACK WHORE"! But then the clock wound down, until I felt you, say hello again.

And you don't say it kindly, it's a slap to the face, quick and unwelcome, putting me physically through a pure dark hell, willing to once again do your will, to not become physically ill !

You've made me become an empty shell, someone I can't even tell,"WHO THE REAL ME IS"? I've done things I never thought I'd do or say!

I've allowed you to mark up my body and scar my skin! And I'd say "NEVER AGAIN"! "WHY"? "WHEN IS ENOUGH,ENOUGH "?

I've given you 2 years of my life and all you've ever done is cause me great strife! Sure you came into my life in the beginning looking so dark and smelled like a favorite vinegar of mine, but over time the thought of your smell cooking makes me feel ill !

I loved you for saving me from all my inner/outer pain, until I couldn't afford you again,then I'd be doubled over retching a horrible vile/bile, until I screamed out,"YES, MASTER" ! I'll do your bidding again, just do your part once I have you in my hand and heart.

But never again, I take back my life from you,"SHAME and SIN" and "WIN"! I am worth my life and head held high a divine warrior back from a personal war! "YES"! I won ! "I'M FREE OF THE BLACK CHAINS HOLDING ME"! "FREE TO BREATH"!
