A Flame Extiguished

A Flame Extinguished

I am in love with an addict, I myself am an addict

Her drug of choice, heroin, my drug of choice, her

I fought this battle everyday thinking I could save her

I lost the battle and myself

Everything I did, all the bad I have done

My only thought, I know I can save her, I love her

She is my life, I am nothing without her

I have hurt so many people trying to save her

I have lost everything

I enabled her, I helped her

I watched her stick that needle in her arm

Wanting to stop her, but not knowing how

When I did try it always turned into a fight, a fight I would always lose

One minute out of control, mean and abusive

The next calm and tranquil

She loves me she loves me not

I fought for her everyday and I lost

I will never forgive myself, that burden I will carry forever

I am nothing

She died in my arms today

Her flame extinguished, my life extinguished

sad write and i feel for the subject as its a hard drug to get past and happens too often drugs take over life and erase it  but the love felt for the person whos deceased  will still be there something a drug cant take away  is that  and to write this shows the good person the poet is     tina x
