So many talented people end up addicted to drugs and/or alcohol and they're lives end way to soon. Thank you for sharing this poem with us and addressing this problem.

yea, i've heard heroin is bad - it sucks you in and never lets go.

a great, deeply meaningful tanka - good heart-filled pivot line
and a smooth connection from the first two lines to the second two...

thank you for sharing
shelley :)

Another great poem. To need or want someone so badly that it becomes an addiction is scary. I don't think I've ever felt that helplessly in love with someone. You drove the point home with the picture of Janis Joplin. Well done. Gretchen

I used to have a tape of Janis Joplin's greatest hits. It's tragic how she died. She certainly sang with much passion. You ended the poem with the title of another song which I remember was made popular by Roberta Flack.

Wow! This one struck at the heart. I remember that song so vividly and the tragic circumstances of her death. I shall have the tune buzzing around in my head for the rest of the day. The construction of your tanka is superb.
