Poison

Piercing the vein 

Until the needle runs dry,

Releasing the pain 

And riding the high;

Staring death in the face 

Without any fear,

Closing my eyes 

As the world disappears. 

Biding my time 

With each lethal dose,

Never quite there, 

But coming so close;

Craving the sting 

Of poison through my veins, 

Til nothing more 

Than a lifeless corpse remains.-
