Gone but not forgot

Gone but not forgot

Pupils pin
eyes roll back,
your body shakes
it needs the smack.
Your mind it leaves
it wonders off,
your brain is numb
your senses lost.
The dope is near
your veins they call,
they try to hide,
your skin
it crawls.
Sniff it
smoke it
slam it home.
you and the dope
are now alone.
A bit to much
and you don't come back,
your heart might stop
cause it's attacked.
Kiss your kids
and say goodnight,
this next trip
might just
end your life.
Senses soft
your no longer boss.
the dope it has you
at any cost.
Lose your job
lose your family
lose your mind
a triple whammy.
The devil
once he's on your back,
he don't want off
you've made a pact.
You live alone
in your vacant mind,
thoughts of love
and life
gone by.
Locked away
but not to late,
help your mind
revive it's fate.
It takes work
and sacrifice
to kill the devil
and this life.
Divorce this beast
as fast as you can,
get back to life
and being a man.
Look to tomorrow
and you will see
a brighter future
tha'ts drug free.
the run is over
time to get sober,
regain the chance
to grow
much older...

Packed a powerful punch Black Reign.  The rhyming and flow to your write is very good.  The structure on the whole worked really well, not sure I wouldn't have elongated a few lines but that is maybe just being picky lol! Loved the piece as a whole, and you captured my attention right from the start, the opening section was brilliant
