January 18, 1991A Poem by Heather Cortiwhat can I say? addiction kills, drugs kill, hearts break, life goes on . . .It’s better than sex It’s your favorite sensation. Yea, they’re your friends Until you have no more money. If there’s nothing wrong with
it Why do you have to lie? Don’t you even care about What this does to us? If it’s so pleasurable Why do you feel so bad? The children are so young What are you going to do? When you clean up You’ll know where to find us. Your obituary read, “died in his sleep” I prayed the Lord your lost soul to keep. Me, twenty-eight, kids 4 months, 2 and 4 Created a sadness we will forever endure. © 2012 Heather Corti |
