Black
Ignorance proves fatal
Encouraged by lies
Images of your lifeless face are forever burned into our minds,
Trying to overcome the memories of smiles and laughter
It was too late when we found you
The blood had turned black and your lips had turned blue
Emptiness remains
In this house and heart
Forever
Encouraged by lies
Images of your lifeless face are forever burned into our minds,
Trying to overcome the memories of smiles and laughter
It was too late when we found you
The blood had turned black and your lips had turned blue
Emptiness remains
In this house and heart
Forever

Unfortunately, this poem is written about true events. A dear friend of mine, my room mate at the time. This was when I was living in Indianapolis, which has the same plague that you've described.
Thank you for reading and commenting, it means a lot.

I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. Drugs are a pandemic everywhere, as is the growing number of suicides, it seems. And we never know who the next victim will be.
A very striking write to the core of emotion.
