In My Heart Poem by Adam Hollingsworth

In the dark I stare alone
A cigarette burning, and the smoke is my home
The rushing of my heart
From the pills I took and love as a part
I know it will kill me
I know in my heart

The drugs have consumed me
The stubbornness has subdued me
The solitude will kill me
I know in my heart

I’ve known for a long time
Yes I have
I know in the end, after she’s gone
And I’m alone with my head
I know I’ll be alone when it ends
Oh yes, I know in my heart
