a touch of pretty heroin


she's decaying into her own fairytale story;
and she promised not to bleed her issues into a disaster
at your feet.

she delivered diseases in her tattered pocket
never caring about metaphors for people like herself.
fifteen bucks gets you a fix like you wouldn’t believe.

and..

oh sweetie pie
you’ll get everything you want
as long as you take her away from here.

    Seen this destroy many and seen a few that were able to release themselves from the grip. A sad situation but some have the strength to fight it and move on and you have done this beautifully and can pen such wonderful pieces about your victory victories. I don't think many realize the pains that come with what is suffered, but to be able to stand tall and keep control of yourself is a great and wonderful thing. Thank you for sharing this very deep and so personal piece with us.

    Hmm this one is so much deeper upon a second read, your pen is strong when it pens such personal things, it is sad and yet is unmistakable that it can and does happen, well done sissy C

    So sad

    some things have to be in control. Some people like it that way because then their is another to put the blame on. I do not know the grip of the drug you speak of here, but I know the grip of others. I am not controlled by them anymore and I wish and pray for the subject in your write. Heart Wrenching story and well written. God bless you and yours, The Shaker
