I watch as you try to conceal your pain
It kills me because I watch you in vain
My love that once held you strong has worn thin
I've tried to help but to the addiction you gave in
Behind closed doors you roll up your sleeve
Crying because your ready for relief
Your body responds to the needle prick
Your eyes roll back as you loosen the tourniquet
I bang on the door fearful of what I'll find inside
My heart breaks as I reach you my tears won't subside
Your body nearly lifeless it's about to give in
To the abuse you put it through called Heroin.

This is the first poem I ever wrote and its a true story about someone I love who struggles daily with heroin addiction
