Kiss of Death

The road to addiction can be so smooth....

Kiss of Death

I can hear rhythmical drums from hell

I run; but the wrong way

I left the map in my other pants

Blinded, I keep running

The rhythm becomes a beat

The beat a song

The same song

The good old song of self destruction

The lines start off:

“I will never do it again.”

But I do

I sing the lyrics, dance the dance and hum the beat

My lips are close to hers

A wide smile explodes across

Her rosy colored lips

Deaths breath smells so sweet

I kiss…….

I really loved the imagery you started this piece off with :) yes, death can be beautiful, irresistible, but it is possible for a way out. Addiction is tough and its a struggle to know that most everything can become an addiction. Great job with this write :)

"I will never do it again." In 2013 I did it all over again like 3547538 times, in 2014 I'm done! It's good, I liked it.

I used to do lots of drugs on a daily basis and I was able to quit them in a second and only because of the ua tests that i get regularly. sadly now im a self proclaim alcoholic because of it. I remember people saying how they were addicted to weed or cocaine. and I was like seriously.. i didn't understand addiction, but yet again I didn't follow the path of opiate pills,heroin.

I like the dance drug analogy, its good, if I could say, maybe you can add a line like this after
"But I do" something like this

she asks for a mere dance
like the old days

I just think that would really fit.

I really love this poem. Its short, simple, and sort of sweet. Just the words make it sweet. This was beautifully penned :)
