We must learn to choose what we care about, because too much bull will drag us down.


Treading on dirty needles,
Infections aside
Burnt Fingers to burnt fingers
Laced and held on tight

They walked with disease
Followed by the ghosts of unborn children behind
And they fought with society
For they were denied.

They kissed with passion,
Bitter with addiction.
Tongues lingered with lust, love and loathing.

In their highs and conjured realities,
They looked deep within vacant eyes,
And they realized to love…
Meant to die.

The darkness prevailed
No God for us all
Just love and disease
A long winding fall


***

So now as I stand here,
Shadow cast on their grave,
I now understand,
They were a cuter couple that hell gave away.


The author's comments:
i was inspired by a couple that i saw walking about together around my neighborhood who were clearly into drugs and threw their lives away and meant during their addiction. Prior to their addiction they were esteemed members of the community.
