Summary: Observations and imagination. Sorry its not too cheery :\




Stench, putrid
Where you exist
Nauseating sights unfold
Step by fetid step
I ascend the concrete tower
Anticipating repulsive scenes
You injecting filth
Sending it racing
Along a major A road
On the map of your life
Purple, abused veins
Syringe at your feet
Glazed eyes, you're gone
Emancipation, so you believe
But all i witness
Is misery, loneliness, desperation
Your face once beautiful
But now, I can't see past
Your dirty contamination
Red raw glare, flaky lips
Greasy unkept hair
Your thin scabbed arms
Its taken you, too far now
Why couldn't you say no?
