In the midnight hour, shadows creep,
A silent whisper, a promise to keep.
The lure of escape, a fleeting dream,
Lost in the haze, a soul’s silent scream.

Veins of sorrow, paths of pain,
Through the needles, flowing like rain.
The world blurs, reality fades,
Chasing the dragon through endless mazes.

Eyes wide shut, seeking solace,
In a world that’s lost its promise.
False comfort in a toxic embrace,
The heart’s rhythm, a frantic race.

Broken dreams and shattered bones,
Walking through life, feeling alone.
The cost is high, the price to pay,
For a moment’s peace that slips away.
