About girls dying of heroin-addiction


The Deadly lullabies

She sleeps
with the needle
the white queen
flowing in her
cold, cold vein
flowing hot
like lava

A young girl
once so sweet
now an eternal
hunger
wracks her like
a vampire
bloodshot
but never
fulfilled

She stares
with blind eyes
and smiles
as she slowly dies
another needle
another queen
to rule her
deadly lullabies
