Every Trick I Know
A mischievous smile belies a trembling lip:
as pleas get uttered in the name of friendship.
And with sad eyes glazed in a foggy stupor:
you beg forgiveness, for yet one more blooper.
I painted your heart in a coating of trust,
now, its metal's showing, and starting to rust.
But while sharing a moment weighing your pain,
my heart got crushed, on hearing you cry again.
As your dreams dissolve, you readily succumb
to any sensations in a heart gone numb.
And hope's lost in a maze of needles and pills,
chasing death through minefields of chemical thrills.
You keep falling, even when I hold you tight,
slipping into darkness surrounded by light.
And, fleeing from reality's nightmare screams,
you shoot up in pursuit of vanishing dreams.
I tremble at the mere thought of losing you,
whatever pain you're feeling; I'm feeling too.
And I'll not sever that bond and let you go,
but will fight for you with every trick I know.
