heroin(e)

Morphine in me

morphing me, she.

More to be seen but

most left unknown.

A savior, sure

but not so for long

taking you once

made my hate for you strong.

Distracting detractor

the truth never mattered

two souls now in tatters

addiction never fades.

Thoughts still provoking

"you want me so take me"

that drug still sedating

those needles leave holes.

As toxic as something

illegal and chosen,

affectionate token not taken

but stolen.

Still going back

into the past to

relapse and recover

and relapse again.
