Heroine

nothing is clear
everything is hidden
why am i hear
why is this forbidden

my mouth is dry
and mind is moving
my thoughts reach the sky
my feelings pass me by

the warm liquid runs up my vein
the needle releases heaven into my body
my chest feels no pain
and my being is no longer groggy

my head will fall to the pillow
my body will sink
i'm a widow
free from what others think

the nectar reaches my every pore
my eyes roll into my head
my soul is no longer sore
and i can die in bed

Capitalization...

and punctuation! I think the one-word title is great, but... the word you are looking for is Heroin, without the [E] which makes it
a female hero! ~ Geezer.
