 Uploaded with ImageShack.us Holding Adored gently, like a promise untold. She lay in my arms like perfumed tissue paper, weightlessly. My Adored, my life, nothing but skin and bones. Pictures of Auschwitz survivors fill my head looking down at her. My Adored was free, oh, she free to die? The man who first shoved the needles into her arms is a monster. He died quickly by my hand. Such a shame. Adored has been dying for months. Heroin is a grinning, soul-stealing destroyer. ©July 13, 2012 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Addiction of any kind is a horrible thing, for some reason this makes me sad....which is what good writing does, makes the reader feel one emotion or the other. Well written Jerry. -Trina |

You wrote this very well. Drug addiction is a harsh master. |

Sorry my poem made you sad, but it was supposed to, still, I hate that you are. Does that make any sense, Trina? Thank you for your nice words. ~*~ they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ [This message has been edited by JerryPat2 (07-19-2012 06:11 AM).] |
