Winter Chills

KR

I saw you
Lying, broken, and wretched
You said your pain was your creation
That it was the only path to light

I saw you
Sweating and shitting
Three pounds of dung in your stomach
And the shakes like winter chills

I saw you
Draw from the puddle
Mix it with dirt
And watch for blood flash.

I saw you
Disgusted, rotted, decayed
Fall apart and lay yourself down to sleep
For the final time

    Well done with the toxicity.

    If I’m understanding it correctly. Sounds like a poem about a heroine addict . At least that’s what I was picturing as I read it. Beautifully sad and disturbing .👍

      It is. I've had my experiences with it, and known a few addicts too well. I always warn my friends now not to love an addict; it'll destroy them.
