Screams of Heroin

June 28, 2013
By Anonymous

Are we made from ashes

Do we scream of hope

Does angst hit our veins

And drive us home

You and I so much alike

Striking in vision

Hinting at clarity

A mind all the same

Two halves

To a whole

The only thing

I can figure

That differentiates

Is your lack for life

Your glass isn’t even

Half full

It teeter totters

Contents sloshing

All over the place

Your hands shaky

Can’t even clean up

The mess

Can’t even clear

The shards

The picturesque glass

Glinting beneath sunlight

Of your broken past.
