Own PoisonA Poem by PumkinOwn Poison A fake smile here and there They don't see that you're tearing me apart I feel disgusted that we breathe the same air Cause to me you are a poisonous dart You leave early and come home late I ask you "Honey where were you?" And you reply "You're the thing in my life that I hate" No more of your "I am sorry beautiful" or "I love you too" The kids say they don't see you anymore I tell them how much you love them all Then cry behind the closed bathroom door While stupidly hoping you would come home or call I wish you cared for them at least Even if you lost your love for me I still remember the vows we made in front of the priest And how you always made me burst with happiness and glee But I see now how blind I had been Because you love your drugs and not me I should have known that drugs will always win I now know I should have been able to see Loving an addict is very hard you know But to others this is something I do not show Not to mention that it's such a lonely place to be in As your efforts to help are always thrown in the bin But still you continue to care for them deeply Even though they prove that they do not care for you at all It's like trying to save a beast but it's too beastly Like trying to climb a mountain but it's too tall Eventually though you worry for others And then you have to save your kids and yourself too Because you know by that time that you can't fix their errors No matter what you say and how long you argue You have to be confident and walk away Even if you feel like you're carrying a heavy stone You have to be confident and walk away To leave them to deal with their own poison alone By DEVILSANGEL7 © 2017 Pumkin |
