7 Haikus about Addiction

 

A rush of lightning

Like water drips through black vines

The hurt stops for you

 

 

Smoke welded with flesh

Teeth rot like dead dreams of love

Smiling is long past gone

 

 

Drink a suicide

The uncrossable river

Bottle your death

 

 

Kiss your son goodbye

Hate your cell alone

Your own hell on Earth

 

 

Shudder in the dark

Blood moon serenades you slow

Pulse stops tears run dry

 

 

Sell your soul to hit

A priceless soul quick to fade

Sell me dime bag debt

 

Die and awake addict

Crave more than in the last life

The hell is your own
