ADDICT

nephilim56

She staggers from
Step to stride
Her sunken eyes
No where to hide.

Beauty now
A distant tide
Drug riddled
A fix to find.

No make up now
Grey and gaunt
Dirty clothes
Her grin to haunt.

    I was born and bred in the heart of London in the 80's this brought some very familiar sights of what I saw as a child on the streets. I actually had a couple of friends who ended like this. So very sad. An extremely powerful portrait of a woman lost. Congratulations you did it in style. 💖
