mother junkie
mother junkie has found a new fix
lonely + desperate
sick of trying
tired of waiting
this is the one.
no second thoughts
he takes her straight in
straight into his veins
straight into his bones
a double shot of morphine
right between the eyes
the visions come
fairy tale poison
she can save me.
no more pain
he lives again
no more doubt
he is strong again
no more fear
he is free again.
for now.
