Your voice no longer echoes
Through these veins, your name
has become a cancerous toxin
Creeping serious visions of a rotting past
Soon to be covered in ice.
I must destroy this delirium
Before it reminds me of a younger time
When I wasn't laced with disease
But it's always been inside of me.
You took every last strand of that life
And wrapped it around my neck
Telling me it would be okay
But we all know actions
Scream louder than empty words.
Can you hear me now?
I won't hear you.

I really like this line...
A nice poem - Seems to be about a drug user? Yes? (My apology if I have misinterpreted it.) I sent this to @curangel for some vote-love. Keep up the great work.
I appreciate your feedback and interpretation! It's not about a drug user, but I did use drug imagery on purpose :)
Ah ok, well I'm pleased I saw that...I'm certainly no poet, and I know it...Despite that being an awesome rhyme I suck at poetry. 😃
haha! Clever!
Clever is a big stretch here...Smart ass is probably closer to the mark.
also! Thank you for your support and sharing!
Most welcome. Thanks for responding, it's amazing how many do not.

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.
I try to but I'm not perfect <3
Perfection is a myth...Perfect enough is reality. :)
Excellent work. Love the poem, its title and the painting.
Thank you kindly <3
