Poetry: Drug addiction

Addict Eyes: Windows to the Black

Dark paths spawn desperate places,
Where addicts roam the far and wide.
Torch lit caverns with no open spaces,
The courage to live has up and died.

Bloodshot eyes consume sallow faces,
Marking a life starved of pride.
Leathery skin and no warm embraces,
Vacancy is all that's left inside.

With no one above to set their paces
On desire's wings they glide.
Welcome to the human's races,
There's nowhere left for divinity to hide.

Round and round the devil's bases,
Evil ebbs like the tide.
A Soul held hostage by hell's spade aces,
Pay the ransom and take the ride.

    Now you'll want, but you won't need.
    Now the fight begins.
    The dark inside wants to reclaim you.
    Now we'll see who wins.
