DANCE OF DESTRUCTION
Tears in her eyes
a needle in her hand
she prepares to take flight
to realms unseen
the world glows bright
then fades to darkness
suddenly,images of light
hallucinations shining forth
locked in her own world
realms out of our sight
washed away in a river of ecstasy
pleasure overflowing restraint
thus she remains
moaning with passion
fantasies running amok
with no room for reason
slowly the stupor subsides
and guilt gains ground
with sadness she realises
yet again she gave in
when she sees him there
tears flow from eyes
bitterness sears through her
a reflection of his plight
not a word is spoken
looks convey what words dont
of succumbing and addiction
of promise betrayed
the father is numb beyond despair
he had seen her lively witty and full of life
full of sun and rainbows,brightness and hope
before she destroyed herself in his sight
now circles of darkness adorn her eyes
which just stare ahead ;blank,bloodshot.
nerves protrude from tender hands
telling the tale of a soul's decay and rot
she is less than human now
no more than animal
fighting tooth and nail
to get her "fix " everyday
she sold her soul
to rid her pain
there is no life left now
only poison coursing through her veins
the Time has passed now
it is too late
yet another hope betrayed
by cruel twist of fate
sometimes i sit and wonder
how a moment of desperation changes lives
how trying to escape reality
destroys countless lives
