Heroin

The poetry of a girl with mental illnesses who fell in love with a heroin addict.

By Tracy Rose Published 6 years ago 1 min read

The smell of your hair

Wishing you were there

While I cried

Wondering if you’re still alive

As the drugs seep in

And depression bleeds out

I loved you

I never had any doubts

Nodding in and out

Eyes are shut

Don’t say I abandoned you

That I gave up

You pushed me away

You had nothing to say

I had no choice

I remember your voice

You told me to go

You said there’s no point

So I opened the door

As I stuck one foot out

I look at you

Wishing you’d shout

Please don’t go

I don’t want to be alone

But you buy your next bag

And call it home
