Elegy To An Addict 2

ELEGY TO AN ADDICT To love a pill, is this life today? Popping up happiness, downing it away. God in a needle, lift yourself higher. Killing the seed of sexual desires. How in the hell did I get in this fix? Heroin for breakfast, heroin for kicks. All the pills have drifted away. Heroin took my life away.
