Drugs and Sex Come With Pain

A typically depressing inky dark night He sat at the corner waiting for the light His mind as usual not fully engaged His pounding psyche had him enraged As if on cue she opened the door plopping into the seat Who the hell is this he’s about to meet He looked to his right fearful of what he might see Thinking who is this person that has chosen me Then he first saw her beautiful face And he was ever so grateful to be in that place So it began this tumultuous trip More exciting with every twist and tortuous dip She seemed very peaceful and really quite nice They talked for a moment and agreed on the price After that there was little to say They went to her place not far away When he first saw her baby boy there on the bed He was overcome with deep feelings of dread She said not to worry and took him away He was still intrigued - with nothing to say She slipped off her things and lay on the bed He couldn’t believe his eyes and went out of his head She was absolutely stunning so slender and silky Her breasts were aglow and her skin so milky He dove to her loins trying to devour her whole She told him she liked it and his skill she extolled She writhed and she groaned until they were one He had surrendered his soul before they were done They exchanged numbers that very first night Little aware of their upcoming plight Now some time has passed though how much their unsure They can never go back where they were Addictions took over their lives - a painful and familiar plight Hers already in full flight and his coming back but not quite She called him honey and begged him to come day and night He came running each time - her rescuing white knight She was in danger far more than she knew He knew it well but not what to do She wouldn’t listen to him She wouldn’t have listened to you At last came a break in this perilous trail She was arrested and taken to jail Again she called him to come to her aid And so he came but not to get laid She grew every day she was locked up He visited often to help keep her chin up Little did he know how his feelings would stir He was beginning to fall in love with her She was in her twenties a mother of four First two girls then two boys more As the time passed she blossomed into this beautiful creature He was absolutely taken with her every feature She showed him her heart and her soul Forever transforming his previous role She entered treatment the other day He’s hopeful they can show her the way At first they talked often by phone Now not so much and he is alone He wrote her a poem and bought her some things Whenever he helps her his heart truly sings So now there he is a bit lost at sea Knowing he hurt both he and she Addiction is such a cruel and relentless master Bringing on pain faster and faster Denying ourselves the joys of life and true love Our pain is so deep we curse God above With all of his being and heart He prays for her to get a clean start His life is so much farther along than hers Hoping hers will get better and his won’t get worse A story of addiction to drugs and sex Ever tragic, pain filled and so very complex Things that seem to make us feel so much better Devour our guts and only make our tears much wetter Be on guard for yourself and all whom you know On this kind of journey you don’t want to go It was all his fault of that he’s completely aware But don’t sell him short - he does truly care Although happily ever after wasn’t their destiny He prays with God’s help she can be set free Now as his once white hot passion grows dim Loving her still he realizes that will be good enough for him.
