Follow me in the footsteps of an addict
to crack haven avenue
tortured souls,
blind, erractic-
looking through mirrors of glass tubes.
Emotions like stone walls,
hardened faces
having pipe dreams,
the bliss, taking flight on wings
to distant places;
the sweetened lips of crack babies.
Bemused, she sells her jewels
from hell
sex sells and silent mourns
at the bottom of wells
faces lie in nights of dreamless scorn.
Follow me in the footsteps of an addict
with the pipe in the their hand,
and watch them blaze to the sunset...

In the night I hide,
shattered, broken of heart
my soul in anguish
I cannot see far.
Lost in an endless pain,
shaken in a torn mind
defeat spreads like acid rain
as I search the line-
where sky and earth meets
I grasp the tides
somewhere the death of dreams
come to be me.
I look through misery's eyes,
and gaze for the serene,
but only see the bitter lie
though I steady try-
to flee from all the pain
it spreads like acid rain
I face the distance of time,
and begin to sigh.
A sweet moonlit twilight
faded...
