Veins to ice

I want to dedicate this poem to my sister Tina, who died in December of 1993 on the day after Christmas of a drug overdose. May her death be remembered so someone else can open their eyes and not meet the same fate. She left behind two small chidren.

"Veins to ice"

You made me feel so good
The first time we met.
Only you could make me happy
You caused me to forget.
But down the road
I didn't know
You'd make me pay such a price
You turned warm blood in to veins of ice

Oh! your such a cruel one
You look so innocent
now you take all my time and money
My energy on you is spent

Not a day goes by
That I do not think of you
You were once such a thrill
Now you make me so blue
What can I do?
What can I do?
I'm hooked.

Warn my friends and family
There is no need
They take a look at me
And they know what they could be
Only a fool would mess with you
I wish that I had listened
I heard the warnings
I payed no heed
I'm paying the price.

You know your name
You vial substance of abuse
I dont even like to say it now
I have no excuse

If anyone can hear me
Please take my advice
Stay away from drugs
Before it turns your veins to ice.
