I woke up in rehab and didn't know why,
I'm not an addict, I'm a regular guy.
Sure I did drugs, some meth and cocaine,
but me, a drug addict, to me that's insane.
They sent me to doctors who asked of my use,
I admitted quite freely about drug abuse.
"Ah Ha!" they exclaimed, "you admit your disease",
"I am sick" I did share, "and my heart, it may seize".
"I am out of control, my heart and soul ache",
"my nerves are so fried that I fear I may break".
I am guilty of loving, of wanting to share,
my life with a girl who just hasn't been there.
My eyes fill with tears and my stomach will churn,
when I think that my love she may never return.
I'll admit I'm an addict and my life's in a whirl,
but am I addicted to drugs or just to a girl?

Poetry: You are my drug
I try to resist
But you beckon from afar
Your clear flower scented fluid
Invites me to taste
No need for a glass you whisper
by Angela Bean
Heroin Sanctuary
There is a place I go to brood,
within my soul,
without the rudeness of another's life,
bearing down
I never had any desire
To become inebriated
Or to inject strange substances.
I never felt that pull
To inhale a glowing ember
In My Sweet Drug Hells
Absence in a world wide tamed
Inward and out of never a mind
Traversing the night life so true
Rolling
HELLO, HEROIN
Hello, 8-ball
It's been five years.
Five, long years
Sleeping in squalors
Crying my tears
Wondering
