She tried heroin on a bet,
once 'hooked' 'twas her only outlet.
Played bareback HIV roulette,
to her regret, to her regret!
**
Monkey on her back not restrained.
Hard as she tried, it still remained.
Through drugs her life is slowly drained.
Can't be maintained, can't be maintained.
**
Right from the start she was his prize.
All that he promised was just lies.
Devils advocate in disguise.
Caused her demise, caused her demise~

Aha! "Heroine" was the false premise as she fell unto her demise in the subtle offer of her new, cruel master heroin. Oh! That killer distinction which netted hitherto unperceived misery! Poor girl. Could as likely been Eve with the Serpent at this rate.
Awesome. Not my favorite topic but as ever, beautifully rendered to good effect with haunting poignancy and excellent details. Thank you for sharing, good Sir.

Some fish manage to get away
With the bait and live another day;
But for others the result ain’t good,
So a life of rectitude they should
Consider and health problems thus allay.
