O P M


city girl vi --jess

There's still remnants of you in my veins;
my addiction.
Is liquid,

from the fields of opium red.

---------------------

My great-grandfather was an opium addict, little wonder why he passed so young. My grandmother still remembers preparing the leaves... and the smell, oh yes, the smell - she said it smelled wonderful. Life during the great Opium Wars.
