The Needles Kiss

Addiction at its worst.

The Needles Kiss

I tried and failed, the truth is clear,
The end I crave keeps drawing near.
A voice within longs for home
It carves its name into my bone.

The needle sings a deadly song,
Its kiss is sweet, but never long.
I lit the match to bridges burned
Now stand raped of death i yearn

Each time I fail in my attempt
God keeps me hear in my regrets
My veins, a map of cursed descent,
Each scar a shrine to what I’ve spent.

My children taken, by God and state
It's in the courts i sealed there fate
Their laughter now, a ghostly sound
A foster home is what they found

I begged for light,yet receive the void
A silent scream for lives destroyed.
My dreams decay in rancid breath,
And wrap my soul in thoughts of death.

At dawns arrival i twist the blade,
My self destruction in different grades
Perhaps tonight I seal it shut—
This cup is dry, I've drunk enough.

With Slowed breath i fade in vein
In deaths sweet comfort i fell no pain
Now Freed to walk the earth alone
It's in the dirt I find my home.
