Suffering

Suffering

I feel like I am diving into a deep Abyss.  This is a never ending raven filled with sorrow, hurt and pain.  

When will the suffering end?

It's the same every day.  Never changing never letting go of the hurt.  
You pound your head so hard that appears to be numb. 

When will the suffering end?

No one looks at you the same.  Is this really the person I grew up with? Is this the one I loved? 

When will the suffering end?

Time is slipping away and you still take hold.  The grip is so tight it leaves a mark. You turn the other cheek and let it cut you.  

When will the suffering end?

We come to your aide again And again.  We yell and we scream stop! But it is in vain.  It's like you never hear it.  How long will you let yourself suffer?  

You are still now.  So very still.  The grip has lessened but is it too late?

Liam, thank you again for taking the time to read my work. This poem is about some dear friends of mine that became addicted to drugs and I have felt helpless to save them.
