Love Your Need

Love your needle, Love your speed. Love your life, And love your need. I brought you straight towards me and raised my arms for you. You lied from day one to yourself, To us you were untrue. I’m dying deep inside myself, Your needle causing pain. We didn’t know your truth or crutch, You ed up once again. Of course we are all to blame for this, The needle stick of joy. Your pain too much for live to help, Our lives, to you, a toy. The drug is just a cover up, Of all your past mistakes. Go love your needle, troubled soul, And live your life with fakes. Love your needle, Love your speed. Love your life, And love your need.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Dark. Angry. Honestly brutal. A- Alissa.... You made a few spelling mistakes and it looks as though you missed a word or two.... Your other poem is deep. You don't write like that without feeling, I hope you've conquered that mountain. I dont think I'm the only person thats read your work and feels you might be on your way back up and into the light. Jump Angel... I'm looking forward to watching you fly....
