Aftereffects of Dope
What happened to your body
You used to be so good looking
It looks like a storm ripped through your eyes
Like you were rung out to dry
Pasty, dry skin
Sagging, paint peeling
What?
No shit
Crystal Meth?
That shit tore you up
You look like you've been fucked by the Army, Navy and the Lower East Side
Damn!
You use to be so fine
I used to love you
I loved the old you
The old you that wasn't an addict
The old you that wasn't beat up by men
By me talking to you right now, I can see the old you
When your eyes flash
When you look
Almost
Alive

This is another sad truth. Seeing people you once knew deteriorate. Nice spill. Fia xoxo

Thank you Fia. So many people I've known turned into these zombies.
