Shudder for a bad girl

During a conversation with a friend I got a bad feeling about a friend I haven't seen in a while

I saw hello kitty stickers
The word heroin was said
Foreboding shudders hit me
I knew that she was dead
I've no proof of course
It's intuition of a kind
I saw her in the morge
That hides within my mind
A body once so perfect
A charming ghetto soul
Bad girl not so innocent
Lying dead and cold
She was never careful
Needles spikes or veins
Parasites around her
Living off her pain
She couldn't be trusted
With money goods or gold
Give her half a second
and all your s**t was sold
She was a charming little addict
She worked her skills on me
But I'm the hornyest white man
You're ever gonna see
Sometimes I really miss her
She was a special friend
I want to think she's okay
and didn't OD in the end.

I like how honest this is and personal too, you tell it like it is and call her out for her flaws but also appreciate her for the way she still lived life by her own terms and in her own awesome way. She made an impression on you as this is I think the second piece i'm reading and i'm sure it's the same girl in both. I'm sorry about her passing away, I wish her family strength and prayers and wish you the best. Live on for her and always remember the good times.

I don't know if she's dead or not. I do know she had a bad drug habit. Thank you for the review Keegan

Well as long as her memory inspires you keep writing about her because you turn them into beautiful pieces.
