Addiction
My senses are alight
Clawing at my soul
Whispered licks of fire
The loss of all control
I feel it in my veins
Coursing through my body
Caressing every crevice
No longer melancholy
It's thumping in my brain
All the adrenaline
It's pounding in my chest
The first shot of heroine
I wake up in the darkness
It's eating me alive
Where is my stash of happiness
I need it to survive
I find the little bottle
My fingers shaking with delight
How is it that this liquid joy
Keeps me so satisfied
I find the bottle empty
Bile rises in my throat
I look at my bruised arm
The needle scars exposed
I crave the silk euphoria
My body screams in pain
I need to buy some more
In this October rain
My wallet whispers emptiness
My credit cards scream in debt
I don't know what to do
With the poison of regret
I shove my hair back
Searching for medicine
How did it get this far
With me and heroine?
My senses are alight
Clawing at my soul
Whispered licks of fire
The loss of all control
