Addiction pt II

My heart has never hurt the way it did that night.
I have never felt my heart fall apart and crumble like I did that night.

The night I learned that yet again, addiction had taken over a loved one. Addiction of chemicals rigged into a form that will make you feel on top of the world. Chemicals disguised as euphoria and hope when all it delivers is pain and sadness. Addiction is not tumblr girls poking needles in their arms with euphoria in their eyes. Its desperation, and destruction. It’s tangled and ratted hair, dirty needles and back allies. Addiction is torn apart families, and never friends just junkie acquaintances. Addiction will never be something for magazine covers, it’s hidden away like porno in the back closet. Addiction is hearts torn apart and punched holes in drywall. Addiction will never be glamorous. Addiction will always be inexplicably painful.
