Raised Trails

I've numbered all my veins
And traced them with the spike
My arms look like the designs that
A snail leaves behind in the sand
Raised trails that each tell
Their own story
Of being a prisoner to
The syringe
Bruised skin and dried blood
Create a confusing collage
Which resembles hell
The infected abcess in the bend of my arm
Begs for heat and attention
But only receives cold neglect
Promises of a new tomorrow
Fade faster than the setting sun
And for another day I inject myself
With liquid life
So I may continue to breathe
Long enough to hope that
Tomorrow never comes.

You paint a picture very vividly. I never had the experience of taking drugs, but if that is what it feels like , then I am glad I have not been tempted.

Great write.
