A Drug Addicts Lament

A DRUG ADDICT'S LAMENT

KENSINGTON AVE IS WHERE I FIX
A PLACE WHERE LADIES PLY THEIR TRICKS
BUT UNDERSTAND THERE IS A FEE
KENSINGTON AVE IS NEVER FREE

WALKING NOW I’VE GOT THE SHAKES
GET THERE SOON IS ALL IT TAKES
THE CITY HAS ME IN A RUT
EMPTINESS ROLLS AROUND MY GUT

JUDY’S THERE SHE DOESN’T CARE
FAST EDDIE HAS HIS DISTANT STARE
AND THEN

Premium MemberBeing in Love Addicts

some people love being " in love"
are perpetually in love
their cars and houses sing of it

their pets and children
take a back seat as
they are all about this new
fresh never-had-before feeling

They exist and survive solely
on the unique emotion of being in love

Unfortunately, being-in-love stales, and
molds up, and puts itself into
a comfortable state eventually.

When this happens, and

Premium MemberOblivion The Addicts Point Of View

The need to escape is truly vast
Usually from memories of the past
Or a hungry need to get away
From harsh happenings of today

It's not so hard to make that choice
When heart pain smothers your silent voice
Others around you sweetly dreaming
While your soul is endlessly screaming

Do you know what it's like to be me?
When your life's been

Story of An Addicts Wife

First before you say anything, I'm in love with my husband but the drug addiction gets hard to watch. *Possible trigger warning*
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Bongs, bubbles and needles...
Awake days, even weeks on end
Losing you slowing it's taking you from us...
Sleeping alone to sleepless nights
When will you wake up...
Childhood pain, losing those you care about, so much sadness
Numbing the

Recovery Isn't Just for Addicts

Becoming the prey 
I’m melting away like a 5 foot wick
To show a skeleton of who was once the author
Now the pencil tips break and the pens ink tends to escape 
My eyelids worked overtime as hazard lights, 
Trying to communicate 
That I'm still held captive in this reaction 
But it's okay, 
Cause I could

Philadelphia, Usa

Philadelphia, 
When you enter Philadelphia 
You will think that all the drug lords 
Of the World live in that USA State. 
Millions of drug addicts, 
Streets filling with homeless people 
Due to drug addictions 
And few secret reasons ...
Which could be taken as  serious problem 
Of the USA government to look at first
Than trying to

The Addicts Addiction

You go to a party smoke a
Little grass.
 Have a go at mushrooms,
Cocaine and hash.

  A friend says hey do a line 
Of some speed.
  This is it, satisfaction
Guaranteed.
.
  Let me tell you how it's
Going to be.
  I know because it happened
To me.

  It consumes your soul,
You’re a slave.

Winning With Addictions

I
Don't quit. You will win
Alcoholics Anonymous includes God
The lesson: You have a spirit key
That can take you to victory
Never give in: be it good or dark, addiction
Jesus for me, demoted love as emotion
II
Love is action, a verb
Not Conquest, Souvenir, Trophy to brag
On Facebook, social media, & kick to the kerb
The one you took pictures with:

Addicts

Addicts injecting, ingesting,
 and inhaling their drugs.
   It's a dangerous life,
 trying to keep pace with the thugs.

     The addict uses,
 and pays dearly for the sin.
     The disease,
 effects all, it's under his skin.

     The trenches are full,
 of front-line

Premium MemberChild of Drug Addicts

We were warned never to share “our business” with anybody
Especially the social workers, nurses or school teachers.
They were the enemy and would “take us away”.
Our terror was the idea of what strangers could do to us.
At least our mother was always sorry later.
She loved us, right?  We knew not to touch her stash.
It was

An Addicts Amends

Memories and friends that have all been lost
The price of addiction, an insurmountable cost

The price of addiction, talents misplaced
Remember the runner left out of the race

The tiny dancer gracing the floor
Found no use for the song any more

The once energetic with brush and paint
Became quite happy just feeling faint


What we have done for one more

Got a million more, three of which I'll now inflict
On my unsuspecting pals
Here on this weird locale
Don't get all squirrely, you guys are hand picked
