The pen in your hand is shaking,

Shaking like you forgot what to do with it.

I can see that your eyes are confused.

I can't help you anymore.

Its time for you to help yourself.

Too many days you thought it was cool.

Too many wasted nights with me waiting at your door.

I've seen you. I've seen her. I've seen enough.

Everyday for the past month was all about you.

But this drug obsession has gotten too far

with your decisions and mistakes that you make

with me in mind.

Those drugs, they make you a whole different person.

Those drugs, I can't stand see you with them any longer.

I need out. I need to get fresh air.

The monster inside keeps growing every time you

place more drugs into your system.

I don't want to fall victim to it.

Find yourself.

Become a new person.

Then I'll be there.

I‘m will not be a victim for your drug monster to

play around anymore

Posted by antheerr 2008-08-23 12:35:31 .... Wow - think is pretty hard-hitting. You let the raw emotion and weariness show through. This is really powerful, especially if you know people who have destructive habits (of various kinds). I can really hear the speaker - so tired of the continued problems and changes and crises, but still wanting to be there for their friend. + Report this comment

Posted by harmattan 2008-08-24 15:02:00 chaos This is something I have never experienced. Never needed, neither did anybody I knew. Until now. You took me there. It is a terrible place. You caught the desperation so well, Kinf regards Harmattan + Report this comment

Posted by Terry Collett 2008-08-28 13:54:26 .... A hard hitting punchy poem; makes its point clear. Tidy in structure, lucid in theme. Reality captured with the good use of words. + Report this comment
