Fatal Reaction
Blood shot eyes
Pale white skin
She loves those highs
She's at it again
Stopped blood flow
Tied off wrist
The pain will go
She clenches her fist
Needle in hand
Heroin inside
Misunderstand
The times she had lied
Skin is broken
Plunger pushed down
Words unspoken
Lips in a frown
Help is needed
But not received
She feels seceded
That pain relieved
Passing of time
Mind in a fog
This one crime
Causing a bog
Heart growing fast
Body convulsion
Life surpassed
By liquid expulsion
Words left unsaid
Hid were her actions
And now she lay dead
What a fatal reaction
