Once I held you in my arms
You gave me such a rush
Filled with blood of happiness
With just one simple push
Once I held you in my arms
And let you come inside
Hope replaced my agony
Made misery subside
Then you held me much too tight
Imprisoned my every thought
Made me see you every day
The heartaches that you brought
How you got under my skin
Clutched tightly to my heart
Threatened you would never leave
Swore You’d never part
Then I broke free of the strangling grasp
Discarded all your charms
But memories here are scratched in red
From when I held you in my arms
I know for some of you it’s hard to understand why, but if you can imagine pains so totally encompassing someone feels compelled to sell a piece of their life for a modicum of relief you may begin to understand why many people turn to addiction in an attempt to validate their existence. Please don’t condemn them, too many close to me have lost to their addictions, and every last one of them was a beautiful but tortured soul. To all those who are falling, those who fell ,and for the few who have defeated addiction I dedicate this to you. PEACE
