Adrift

"He" is a companion she craves He never argues, fulfilling all her needs He is her emotional haven, that enslaves She sees no blood..- but inside she bleeds Her reality becomes insanity As insanity controls her reality She realizes she needs to escape But he kills that thought, her mind is raped As she slips further into a black hole Her family and friend pray for her soul She becomes blind and cannot see That there is a way out, she can break the chains and be free Her drug addiction now being treated His grip loosened, now soon to be defeated

I seems to be a universal problem affecting so many and it ruins lives. How sad people become slaves to this addiction that begets poverty. You said it with touching sensitivity.
