Broken Opiate Heart

By Awesomeshiloh

I never realized that my life would end
     That day
But I know I'm only one syringe
     From ending all my pain
I don't think that I can live this way
     It's just to hard
Maybe I'll just end my life today
     With a needle in my vein

My last goodbye
With bloodshot, pin-prick eyes
I'm lying on my back
Wishing that I could still be
With a needle in my vein
Still alive
I don't wanna die
I~I~I~
Wish you were still here with me

I never thought that I'd turn into this
     Dope fiend
But there's nothing that I want to miss
     So I just try to sing
Living now is what is killing me
     I wanna die
Dieing's my new beginning
     To just see in your eyes


My last goodbye
With bloodshot, pin-prick eyes
I'm lying on my back
Wishing that I could still be
With a needle in my vein
Still alive
I just wanna die
I~I~I~
Wish you were still here with me

Author's Note:

I wrote this song to the tune of "pain" by jimmy eats world. I also wrote it right after I buried my best friend from a heroin OD and my fiance from a brain anuerysm just 6 months apart and just being only 7months out of prison.

    Your combination of phrases describes the situation... but I'm not sensing the desperation, pain, or bitterness. The repetition of simple words gives this a definite layman feel, but don't be afraid to go all-out with emotional rage. It seems like you're dulling it down to be.. polite, almost. Also, watch the spelling errors.

    thanks, and you couldn't be more right. i wrote it initially for it to be printed in the church handout for the funeral. :) i'm also waiting for the next time the poetry course on this site is offered, so i can better form my thoughts into written word.
