Nail In The Coffin

Nail In The Coffin


She was the love of my life
I shot her up twice
once in the heart
the other in the thigh
I wipe the tears from her eye
she now believes the lie
as she enters the dark side of the moon
I put the flame to her silver spoon
she can almost taste the fumes
taste her own doom
crawling to the edge of this room
destroying the life in her womb
and I never meant to cause her harm
she has no look of alarm
as I tie this noose to her arm
and the nails devours her charm
her heaven will never be seen
and I've been killing her everyday
since seventeen

This is a great write. Sad but true of many lives.....
Every time I read about the needles... it brings me back to my ex. Living with a heroin addict is hopefully the closest I'll ever come to knowing this state... this place.....this life. Although, technically, I'm sure I can relate on other levels......if I want to be brutally honest. Although, I know there's nothing that compares to heroin, which is what makes it so sad. I've seen too many people suffer at the hand of it, die from it, jail for it, steal for it...... you know what I mean.
This is truly powerful..... hitting hardest at the last line. Excellent write!
