Whispers of Meth

this poem is about my addiction to drugs and although now clean, still struggle with temptation, this drug is evil and destructive and I hope this touches all who may be struggling to free themselves from its grasp


WHISPERS OF METH

Ive relapsed more than once, this evil is enticing
I still pay for my mistakes
I will warn you, he will destroy you, your life it will take
his name is meth, some call him ice or shard
he changed my life and it has never been so hard
he swept me off my feet at first sight
we danced and and laughed all through the night
but then the smiles started fading
and he whispered in my ear
words that tormented my mind 
but were very, very clear

he said "you are mine forever, my lies you believed
and I will never love you, like you love me
youll die on my command
your life now in the palm of my hand
and till then youll live in my domain
you are my prisoner, another victim, my gift is your pain
now I have you in my control
youll beg and plead for me to let you go
but youll still chase, if you try escape me
ill give you a month or two, maybe three
try if you can to run and hide
but it wont take you long to miss me my bride

yes, we are married we are one - im all you've got
their all gone - your friends and family, I took the lot
I even took your children, your dignity and home
so if you divorce me remember youll be all alone
youll come back, they always do 
im married to more people than you know - its not just you
time is fading, your days are numbered
ill watch you breathe your last breath and laugh where you slumbered
