Heroin, I hate you!

When the people that you love

Become a picture in your mind

You lock them in your memories

Never leaving them behind

Going about your day

As the pain subsides

Never fully going away

Only lingering deep inside

The life that I chose

Almost destroyed me

The people that I had

Left earth before me

I walked the path so lonely

Thinking of moments with my friends

The echo of our laughter ends

As the screeching of silence begins

Everyone around me is dying

I can’t turn on my phone

Without crying

Heroin, I hate you!
