Never Forgotten

Never Forgotten 

She's someones sister, she's someones daughter  
though she thought they'd all forgot her 
waking up next to guys she didn't know 
head hurting from too many lines of blow 
partying till the brink of dawn 
wondering why her cars parked on the lawn 
feeling like her life had been so unjust 
the bottle was all she learned to trust 
she could feel everyones icy glare 
telling herself she didn't really care 
knowing her boss was going to go beserk 
it was the fifth time in two weeks she was late for work 
scared she was going to get fired 
she called in sick to get wired 
this time she'd been in too long a roll 
the drugs had finally taken their toll 
at the funeral no one had forgotten her 
she was someones sister , she was someones daughter

James, this well written lament on the ravages of addiction had me reflecting on the lives I have seen devastated, both the addict and those who suffer with the addict. Thanks for participating in the contest and welcome to the "soup".
