O P I U M

A bitter, highly addictive drug, A narcotic, known to relieve pain that drag Induces sleep or dullness in a medicinal doses, Yet if consumed in excessive and uncontrolled doses, May produce convulsions, coma or even death... A man in perfect suit, a respectful company owner, No one can imagine he deals with this act ever, Yet narcotic is in his blood, put my friend into misconduct She was narcotize by this dignified man's act, Opted for her addiction, which stupefy her, put her in a shock! She is deeply in love that she ruined a family who is intact, She fought her best, believing his words as damn fact, She ignored mocks, even her family is set to cast She brought her credibility in shameful scenario, Enduring people's judgement, had her painful future typecast! Now, I see her in miserable life, Alcoholic and drawn herself to narcotics Just to fill her lover's addiction of sexual misbehavior Beating her in every moment they do their deed Tying her up, enduring the pain of cigarette burning her skin... Damn man, damn opium! Damn love, damn lust Choices sometimes put anyone in disgrace Opium lures ones mind, destroying ones life How many are into this, making it as their escape? Sometimes, we are blinded with so much love and lust Doing everything for the person we believe will love us likewise Withstanding the bitterness of pain and mistrust Casting away own dignity in disgust! Ahhh...when a woman loves a man...who am i to judge?

Love is blind, they say, but it does not have to come to this. Then, as you say...who are we to judge? Expressive write, seems to relate a real personal experience. // paul
