Phil Dopson Poet Rhyme

Life Sentence

life sentence 
I can’t go on with my life in addiction 
How can I ever have any kind of relations 

A week a month a year 
I really have no idea
It’s all the not knowing 
That’s stops life growling 
You build it all up 
begin to restore 
All the love and respect 
from your family once more 

There’s is no sane or sensible explanation 
Just another day when 
Your living in addiction 

I can not promise 
I can give no guarantee
all your worries and fear
I can never remove or relieve 

No one can live with that uncertainty 
No faith and stability 
Chance after chance you gave to me 

I was so blind I just didn’t see 
I was killing all you had inside for me
The saddest thing about addiction 
Is all your loved ones get caught in your affliction 

Most of me can be heeled 
addiction  though can’t be killed 
So what ever Treatment I decide 
addiction will forever be right by my side
