The Passing of Hermione
From her being some kind
of groovy
hippie chick, to heroin chic,
in under three
whole calendar months
was surely
some kind of record ..
But whatever
the Coroner eventually says,
the fact remains ..
While still fresh out of rehab
Hermione finally
mainlined her good self away
Beneath a bridge,
that will never bear her name ..

Oh dear, one I can't meet! A fine write N.
thanks Orchidee .. with the exception of a few lines in the local rag maybe, this scribble may well be the only thing left to remember her by .. & I firmly believe she deserves not to be forgot ........... N
This is unfortunately happening way too often even in my country. Often young women are taken advantage of by syndicates promising them wonderful rewards. A real tragedy.
Yes, absolutely it is a global phenomenon & has been around since long before I can now remember .. thank you for your insight and your visit Roz ............................................................. Neville
Sometimes the drug is just more powerful than the person.
Sadly, they all have a story to tell, usually at the end you hear it. Sad poem on a sad subject.
Sad indeed ................................................................. thank you Paul B .......................... Neville P
❤️🙏🙏
Bless you sir .............................................. a much appreciated visit and true ❤️
I have known addicts in my years. The one's I knew were not terrible people at all. Their habit caused them to do horrible things and i would keep a respectful distance to avoid being taken advantage of. All too often tragic ends make local news. All too often addicts are wrongly identified as being the dregs of society. So misunderstood, they are victims in many ways of crimes lurking in our society.
A very moving piece today.
there's not a word you just pinned to this page out of place sir ................... cheers n respect .. N
You told quite the story with this one although so sad it's not a story at all. The last 4 lines are terribly tragic. Great write!
as always, I am grateful for your visit & for your understanding Christina8 .................... N
A tragic read
A dreadful end
Common in so many around
A news which keeping popping in surround
How much grief one holds
That only dope could cure
Alas the months left so small
And sad for those who are left alone after their passing
And hats off to those workers who try their best in rehab centres
I have always felt, this situation is immensely difficult for the friends, family and the warriors who try their best not to lose hope
A wonderfully penned essential poetry dear Neville
thank you spills, since I was peripherally involved so to speak in this whole very sad affair, I felt compelled to try & ensure in my own way that she would not pass unnoticed & be forgotten .. x
I hope in next life she lives a happy and healthy life
I hope so too ...................
Such emotions can be felt by others when drug abuse takes away a person who you know.
Sad words Neville.
Andy
thank you GF60 ................................................. sadly tis very true ... Neville
