Loss

When the drugs are gone, I feel like dying Cos when reality hits, I'm left there crying Wishing things could go back to how they used to be Like the way you promised, so sincerley But all thats gone to **** & so has my dreams & so has my life Which has been torn at the seams There's no other man That holds a candle next to you & when all I do is compare I'm reminded of all the things we would do & all this hits me hard like a bullet through the chest like a knife to my throat A razor to my wrist But when I take one hit What a relief so desparatley needed To clean up the mess you made Of a heart that wont stop bleeding Its the escape I need, when I feel so dead But when I have nothing else, I take what I can get I miss you, I need you, like the air I breathe & if I cant have that, Ill take a puff of just about anything & if I cant smoke it, ill pop it, snort it, inject into a vein & hey if it kills me, at least I'll be free from this pain So judge me, hate, me, think whatever you wish But when you've lost all you got Then death becomes your only wish

Whoa! You've brought out the raw emotions very well. Loss is a difficult pill to swallow and so is recovery from loss. Nice write!

Therapy through words is what get's me by. Thank you for your honesty and your pain. They say scar tissue is stronger than regular tissue but the process is still very tough. Thanks and take care!
