Cement Garden: Letters to an Addict
I have seen you before. Not just in the shadowed spaces where your breath slows, where your fingers shake, where your heartbeat stumbles like a runner with nowhere left to go. I have seen you in the cracks of my own hands, in the places where I, too, once tried to bury myself under the weight of what I had done. You...

Premium Member The Saved Addict
Everyone has heard the stories; The ones where we fall. Relapse in our history Now we just try to stay strong. Families broken And children hurt All because we wanted to do something That paved the road to the graveyard’s dirt. The quiet user’s mind in shambles. They withdrew and succumbed to the pain That the drugs were the only way to stay...

Pain Addict
In the dance of life, pain intertwined, A symphony of lessons, the heart refined. I've savored every sting, every scar, Grateful for each moment, near or far. For through the trials and the tears I've known, I've grown and evolved, my love has grown. Addicted to the wisdom that you provide, In your embrace, I find solace and pride. You've taught me strength...

Premium Member Broken
He was a child Dark hair, blue eyes Smiling, laughing, delighting He tried not to cry While pain was absorbed By his heart and soul He invited the fear Crimson shadows, doubts Despair and hollow feelings When life turned to dark His light turned down, reflecting All the silent sighs, the blend… Of isolation, remote depression Flowing in the veins Where the needle sent its flame Edging him from the...

Myself a Bean
I live my life sober and clean but once was called a bean I started with promise and hope then found myself drowning in dope I smoked a dart from a pack I found that led me to joint just to be sound I made friends with a bottle I bought only to find them gone after we fought...

Premium Member Praying For An Addict
I pray for you, but I’m just not sure When you say you’ve changed, Does it mean anything? When you reveal Your heart – is it something dark Or is it something blue, tender and true I just can’t be sure about you… You’re someone Who is rich in His blessings, someone Who is loved, adored, accepted Yet you neglect the truth, reject...

Watching a Drug Addict
Dick was watching a drug addict And dared to his next act predict; Dick's bet: Addict would rich smiles beam To show off teeth that like gold gleam. But this the Zonked Guy did not do. "Please, can't I meet lions in Zoo? For so much I've heard of their strength But can mine stretch to a full length!" Just plain! there should...

Addict Alien
Thoughts and acts attack sporadic a tactic without static/ Don’t panic you old addict forget that statistic/ I’ll slick back and go ballistic on a notebook with hope cooked rhetoric/ Stick affluent's in the pocket while they trick / My treats click atonement with a tone meant like a rocket pack switch / To lift influences and remit where there’s...

Ramblings of An Addict
Been outside for too long I still wonder, whats wrong? Can't feel the cold Keep my chest puffed and bold Where were you when it happened? The whole ceiling collapsed It felt like the sky was falling The fact that I had faith is appalling Around you, I felt at home now its as if i am on the roam Praying I don't fall...

Drug Addict Celebrates Survival
For Val it was simply magical: Surgeons might have said ‘surgical’: A thing which had seemed cyclical, His bouncing back ‘ Atypical’… And there for minutes Rita stood, Her stretching talk with Val sweet food; Clearly, in her best of wished mood: Must she always over fate brood? So far, the Grandest Festival To be held by Ambitious Val And he had named...
