Poetry: Drug addiction

by Kris Koments

"Evils Remorse"

An alley of darkness where evils gather-
the stench of rot, a bloody shower.

Self-mutilation, but cuts of shame-
this darkest hour, they drip my name.

Burning soul of mine, eternal this prison-
cascading red with the blood of children.

Not I, but they will be forgiven-
for from the depths of hell, I have risen.

To devour the guiltless, I lay in wait-
for euphoric oblivion. I am the drug of hate.
