    Take Me in Your Arms
    (Miss Heroin)


    So now, little man, you've grown tired of grass
    LSD, goofballs, cocaine and hash,
    and someone, pretending to be a true friend,
    said, "I'll introduce you to Miss Heroin."

    Well honey, before you start fooling with me,
    just let me inform you of how it will be.

    For I will seduce you and make you my slave,
    I've sent men much stronger than you to their graves.
    You think you could never become a disgrace,
    and end up addicted to Poppy seed waste.

    So you'll start inhaling me one afternoon,
    you'll take me into your arms very soon.
    And once I've entered deep down in your veins,
    The craving will nearly drive you insane.

    You'll swindle your mother and just for a buck.
    You'll turn into something vile and corrupt.
    You'll mug and you'll steal for my narcotic charm,
    and feel contentment when I'm in your arms.

    The day, when you realize the monster you've grown,
    you'll solemnly swear to leave me alone.
    If you think you've got that mystical knack,
    then sweetie, just try getting me off your back.

    The vomit, the cramps, your gut tied in knots.
    The jangling nerves screaming for one more shot.
    The hot chills and cold sweats, withdrawal pains,
    can only be saved by my little white grains.

    There's no other way, and there's no need to look,
    for deep down inside you know you are hooked.
    You'll desperately run to the pushers and then,
    you'll welcome me back to your arms once again.

    And you will return just as I foretold!
    I know that you'll give me your body and soul.
    You'll give up your morals, your conscience, your heart.
    And you will be mine until, "Death Do Us Part"

    I'm a bit confused by the title. All I will say is that reminded me of Lou Reed's "Heroin" and also "Sister Morphine." There is experience in your words, and an honesty. That title, though...

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
