The Spike

Looking for the deep blue river,
then a sharp spike then a shiver.
Going down, and still down,
like forever,
I sink to the ground,
I feel better.

Can't stand to wake in the morning,
the sunlight just makes me feel sick.
Barfing is just the first warning.
till I finaly score the clock ticks.
My girl she waits at the crib,
while I go out looking for boy.
The spike is always the master,
my girl and I are just toys.

Looking for the deep blue river,
then a sharp spike then a shiver.
Going down and still down,
like forever.
I sink to the ground,
I feel better.

From what I have heard and read from other addicts, you have described heroin addiction to the t. I got so into this poem while reading it, I felt like I was the addict. That's how good your wording was. Ten from me!!!

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
