**Okay, this one requires a short explanation. It's about a good friend of mine who is addicted to herion and recently lost custody of her two daughters. These are actually lyrics to a song I just finished writing. Let me know what you think. As always, constructive criticism also appreciated. Thanks for reading -Chris
She came over it all with a grin
as she always did.
After all she's just a little girl
wearing big mommy shoes,
and she nods out
forgetting her place in this world.
she's an old soul...
Oh how sweet
can this nothingness be;
Perfect void of
most anything.
A complete lack of sickness
for several sweet moments at least.
And you peel as if skin from the sky,
but it doesn't much matter now.
Do your cigarette burns
serve as faithful reminders?
Ambiguous footnotes?
In the end it becomes
what you fought all along
if you just give it time-
you kill off one disease
just to die of another.
**Also, I apologize to anyone who may have seen it for my earlier post "To Hell With Kurt Cobain". I was very sick and angry and hadn't slept for a couple days, and I should have not posted it. That one, I probably should have kept to myself. Sorry.
