Nevermore

Once upon a midnight dreary I walked along the woods so weary So weary of heroin and nicotine That right inside took a ride A joyful ride to my mind The ones who kept my heart up left Meaning living, deeply digging Right inside me with no mercy They brought a lovely face of misery My clothes fully torn As if never truly worn By a normal human being But an animal with raging horn My eyes slightly opened As if not wanting to see What kills my every hope and Makes me want to truly be A person not belonging to this world One having not a single sword... My eyes slightly opened Not wanting to see My reality… Like an animal playing predator In front of other men, But prey I am and no other I cant deny it to mother nature I miss the sunshine I miss the feeling of being alive I want my mind to say I’m fine And won’t stay this way I’ll strive But every time I try to think Only think of a happy moment Not even living in that moment, My conscience comes and starts again By knocking at my door And there again is the pain Saying you’ll be happy no more Never again, never more… I laugh with a voice so loud I can see the leaves shaking Like an addict who just found No more smack for escaping I turned into, with such rage Such hatred towards life Just prey I am, in a cage Having no chance to live I crumble weak and weary Through this forest of blackness Total darkness and I so blindly Fell in the abyss of loneliness Looking around with eyes as red As red red red as blood With fumes growing and growing in my head Fumes, vagueness, fog, a flood Sudden flood of blood So red, scared I am, so red I fell, couldn’t stand Can someone please give me a hand Dad, dad, mom, Virginia please I want u back, all back I want to ease I want to end this hurt, this pain, me I want to end me yes, me… I saw him, I saw him coming Instead of helping he started saying Screaming, screaming and yelling Tapping rapping on my chamber door Saying I’ll live no more I’ll wait no more I'll write no more I'll fight no more I’ll leave just leave And never come back No more Never again Nevermore…

Very sad, but emotional poem. It makes you truly feel the pain of an addict. I personally have, THANKFULLY, never been addicted to anything, so I know nothing of the inner turmoil but I have been on the other side and sometimes its hard to stay angry when you KNOW that person wants to get clean, but its even harder when someone is in denial and it makes it that much harder to stay with them. This is really beautiful but very sad....Aleera
