Aww, Gah it's alright

(A poem based on addicts of illegal drugs)

Addiction
Tinath Zaeba

Attraction, my destruction
Can't take my eyes off her,
A voice calling me from the depths of nowhere.
She wants me to strip down to the thirst I hide,
The shameless side of me
That cares not for the world nor for my own well-being.
And I sigh
In resignation,
Knowing I can't deny
Her secret smile.

I beg my noble reflection
To permit me one taste of her poison
And let it burn through my veins.
He rejects my request and
Her rage, my wrath
Draw cracked lines on the glass canvas
Till the mirror breaks
And disconnects me from his wise perfection.

I drink in the fire
And burn in the heat,
I bathe in the light
Till the darkness embraces me.

My eyelids are heavy
And my breathing slow,
My head feels dizzy,
I should have known.

I turn my face away
And my reflection stares back at me,
His lips curved down to a frown,
For we both know
I may never stand tall again.

Sometimes I wonder. Sometimes I think.
And these regrets come flooding in.
It's the looks, the words. The memories.
They're killing me, ever so slowly.

I say I don't care, but how true is that?
I say that I'm fine. I say it's all good.
I say it's been so long and done with.
But who am I trying to fool?

There are days I can't see past all the negativity.
And yea I continue, but Im broken inside.
Don't know why you would want this for me,
But I know that someday, I'll see.

When...

When a heart breaks,
it echoes.
When a foot steps,
it thuds.
When hands clasp,
it is remembered.
When screams sound,
it is heard.
When song is sung,
tears glisten.
When a friend turns,
we break.
When we are embraced,
we rely.
When there are trials,
it builds.
When we fall,
it hurts.
When we climb,
we are brave.
When we cry,
we let go.
When eyes blink,
it clears.
When voice sounds,
it echoes.
When we love,
we decide.

Someday


Thinking about you---
The memories make me laugh.
Thinking about you---
You had the familiar smell.
Thinking about you---
The pictures bring me joy.
Thinking about you---
You had that wonderful smile.

Wishing you'd return---
But I know you can't.
Wishing you'd return---
But time doesn't turn back.
Wishing you'd return---
But it's not the better option.
Wishing you'd return---
But some wishes are not meant to be.

Hoping that someday---
We will find each other.
Hoping that someday---
You'll return to me.
Hoping that someday---
These dreams will come true.
Hoping that someday---
Once again I'll be with you.
