My Heroin

My Heroin

A Poem by Casey Dusek
"

This is in-fact about a person, but as a kind reviewer did point out, 'addictions', no matter the form, do take us all to the same place.

"
Who am I? I am an angry girl. You led me to believe you held a cure for every kind of pain that I harbored. You gently embraced me, as I let you lick my hollow veins. Right now I don't truly know what led me to your door. But I'd come knocking everyday. Everyday of my life. You knew I was weak, and when I tried to run from you,  you followed. Taunting me with sickness and fear. But I did something I swore I'd never do, and it tore me from the inside out. I can't take it back. Or else I would. You twisted me into your image. A nutcase, a liar, a thief. You claimed me as your own, letting me know real fast I had no options left. You were killing me, everyone could see. You weren't only hurting me. You're the black veiled monster, hand-in-hand with death. It was you that I wish I'd never met. Now you've moved on. I pried your grip from my wrists. But still, your hand prints are imprinted on my body. You've come and gone. But it's me who'll never be the same. Burn in hell... my heroin.

Addictions connect so many people in various ways, even feeling others adict pain still. They are not able to sort themselves out. I loved your strong writing and messages. Well done my friend.

How intense, and deep. The format it was written in paragraph form like that kind of confused me for a minute, but then I was good xD
I also liked the line, "I pried your grip from my wrists. But still, your hand prints are imprinted on my body." Very good job.
