Just one last time.

He injected the syringe.
Repeating to himself just one last time.
Looking into the mirror with a cringe.
He realized his crime.
=========================
He had lost his wife.
He had lost his job.
He gave into the strife.
He could only feel the heroin throb
=========================
His horrible dreams.
Had become his best friend.
Nothing was as seems.
He wanted this to end.
=========================
The heroin became to little,
He decided to mix with cocaine.
The crack he would whittle.
To be snorted straight to his brain.
=========================
His body began to deteriorate.
He would do anything to feed his addiction.
The poison would accumulate.
The drugs would become his affliction.
=========================
Theres a hole in his arm.
Thats where the money goes.
He had lost his charm.
This was the life he had chose.
=========================
He was cold living on the street.
Christmas passed, and he never knew.
His life had become defeat.
And he didnt have a clue.
=========================
He died alone.
In a pool of his very own slime.
He said goodbye to the life he had known.
With the final words, "Just one last time"
