So now, little man, you've grown tired of grass <br />LSD, goofballs, cocaine and hash, <br />and someone, pretending to be a true friend, <br />said, 'I'll introduce you to Miss Heroin.' <br /> <br />Well honey, before you start fooling with me, <br />just let me inform you of how it will be. <br /> <br />For I will seduce you and make you my slave, <br />I've sent men much stronger than you to their graves. <br />You think you could never become a disgrace, <br />and end up addicted to Poppy seed waste. <br /> <br />So you'll start inhaling me one afternoon, <br />you'll take me into your arms very soon. <br />And once I've entered deep down in your veins, <br />The craving will nearly drive you insane. <br /> <br />You'll swindle your mother and just for a buck. <br />You'll turn into something vile and corrupt. <br />You'll mug and you'll steal for my narcotic charm, <br />and feel contentment when I'm in your arms. <br /> <br />The day, when you realize the monster you've grown, <br />you'll solemnly swear to leave me alone. <br />If you think you've got that mystical knack, <br />then sweetie, just try getting me off your back. <br /> <br />The vomit, the cramps, your gut tied in knots. <br />The jangling nerves screaming for one more shot. <br />The hot chills and cold sweats, withdrawal pains, <br />can only be saved by my little white grains. <br /> <br />There's no other way, and there's no need to look, <br />for deep down inside you know you are hooked. <br />You'll desperately run to the pushers and then, <br />you'll welcome me back to your arms once again. <br /> <br />And you will return just as I foretold! <br />I know that you'll give me your body and soul. <br />You'll give up your morals, your conscience, your heart. <br />And you will be mine until, 'Death Do Us Part'<br /><br />charlotte marie peachey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/take-me-in-your-arms-miss-heroin/
