Requiem for a addiction

"I lost something precious today,"
She said with a cigarette between her lips.
"It's not in the under the bed...or behind the couch"
She takes a long drag from her cigarette, blowing the
smoking expertly from her lips.
" I can't find it please help."
She says shaking with annoyance,
sweat beadng on her brow. She flicks
her lighter...the fire glints in her eye.
The scritch, scritch, scritch of the pen
on paper,
" Tell me more. Tell me you love me."
Her eyes a shade of pale gloom and hopelessness.
She twirls around the ice in the glass,
she tilts her head back and two cubes fall into
her hot mouth.
" My heart is breaking you know."
She suffers from a incurable disease.
" I lost something precious today."
She said with sadness on her lips,
" My destructive decisions...that's my problem."
Methodical psycho with the constant mundane ritual,
She's a caged Animal. What is she going to do now.
She's not worth it.
"It's not in my mind..."
The orchestra plays a sad sad song,
She crawls on the floor like a simpering
Animal
coughing up blood, dry and sunken eyes.
" I lost my sanity today."
She pets her scars lovingly,
broken glass everywhere.
Roses scattered,
Paper littering the floor
" When I die..."
She takes a drag.
- Tilt of the head
another ice cube goes in the mouth.
She's strung out on drugs,
addicted to alcohol,
craving sex,
and halfway to death.

Author notes

I wrote this after watching Requiem for a dream and after Greg proceeded to break my heart permanetly so I apologize if this doesn't make sense because it probably makes no sense to me either.

    Depressed

    She seems very depressed because she has lost her love. You set the mood very well here. She is lost in self pity I think. I like the way most of this poems alludes to what she is feeling rather than spelling it out.

    this was excellent. a bit slow in some parts, but otherwise very raw, edgy, and powerful. kickass darling, truly kickass.
