    Addiction

    the pipe lies on the counter

    the mirror on the floor

    smoke filled memories

    of the night before

    he said he'd stop

    get some help

    but he just sits

    watching it melt

    he speaks in tongues

    riddles and rhymes

    he does it all

    all the time

    pound by pound

    slips away

    his weight dwindling

    his face all gray

    he can't say sorry

    or make up for lies

    so he just smokes

    before he dies

    This is painful stuff to watch go down, and the emotions are loud in your work. Typically I don't go for strictly metered rhymes too often; but this one had a pretty good flow to it and didn't feel too forced to me. I do think you could relax the structure just a little tiny bit... this is what I had in mind...

    Simple little changes, really; to be taken with a grain of salt. Thanks for sharing this, tho. :)
