By Dan Heffron Had a brother, he was older She shot morphine, in her shoulder Didn't hide it, she did not care Saw the needle, I was there Go ahead then, stick the needle in Push your medicine Cut marks on your legs and arms Needle sticks can't do more harm Go ahead then, stick the needle in Push your medicine 'That's illegal, there's no excuse' Go on girl, push your juice When you cut you, you bleed red They bleed white, those poppy heads It's ok, go ahead Push your meds No don't swallow, use the needle, make it last You'll loose 1/3 by first-pass That, and the needle's fast Go ahead then, stick it in Push your medicine You're out of smokes? And milk too? What else you need? I'll be back soon If you don't want to be alone I won't smoke more of yours I bought my own Not like you do But I know life’s hard You light my smoke I’ll deal the cards If you nod off on me I’ll turn on the T.V. You ask what’s up in my world? Um, not a lot, not much new Still got that crush on that girl What can you do Grades are great, higher than Hers, I’m doing well But you can tell how I really feel Hey I’m fine, mind the game, it’s your deal Beautiful petals, so fragile Some are white, and some are red Your relative peace, so labile You paid your bill, have your med Oozing sap, untainted, so white and pure So soon turns black, have your cure, have your cure I've seen the damage done And the needle The damage won Your sun never even got to rise You don't even try to hide it Your brother should have supplied it. Your own brother? how many times? How many years? Little girl Overpowered Have your white tears From your flower Mine Are Clear
