Siren's Song
Heroin is naught but a sirens song to me
singing of warm, forgetful peace –
so false and fleeting,
self-induced living death,
the Jones ever creeping.
Til none is left but a wretch,
shadow chasing.
A nightmare of my own contriving,
ever convinced of her beauty but never realizing –
it was just her song in my head
and not worth dying for.

I know those messages well...but I agree the messages in our head are never worth dying for. You, my dear, are worthy of living.

Well hello
Welcome (I'm probably a little late, oh well)
The opening line grabs the reader by the hair and marches them into the work. Brilliant!
I caught myself mumbling but she won't top it and then you did in the closing line.
I don't have much in the way of critique for you really... I adore this work. I s'pose some would ask about the punctuation on the line breaks and some might wonder about starting that last line with "and" but I wouldn't worry unless you wanted to the piece is magnificent really.
Blessings @ you
