Abuse
Hiding away,
Afraid to say,
How it Hurts,
Everyday watching,
As dreams float away.
I don't want to play,
Silly games of chase.
Wishing I could erase,
This face from the mirror.
Going to the hole in my heart,
To try and restart,
While falling apart.
It's Time to depart,
I have to think smart,
I get confused at this part.
I start to use,
Any excuse, Or situation,
Vindicating my abuse.
Feeling I Always lose,
Burning the fuse.
triggering the cues,
No more love to use.
Seeking the juice,
So I can choose,
To rise above,
And free this recluse,
Trapped in patterns of abuse.
