My Only Friend

Another night, another drug.
Now I just lie here
in the dark and wait
for it to put me to sleep.
To avoid the tears,
that stain my cheeks,
and the heart ache
you gave to me.

I toss and turn through the night,
only to wake and take another one.
Dragging my drugged body
across the floor,
I find myself my sweet drug.
Holding it lovingly
in my hand,
I whisper,
"You are my only friend."

Author's Note

I have been taking drugs to help me sleep.

Well at least you are able to express things through a medium such as writing. I have had my problems with using things such as that to get me through hard times so I completely know where you are coming from. It does temporarily relieve the pain but then it comes back again. But thanks for sharing, it was good that you did. I enjoy the poem as well.

I love how it flows and it outs an image in the readers mind. Nicely done.

Kaze~

May your dreams bring you the rest and peace you need during this time of pain. Your words express so well the marks on your beautiful heart. xo

Thank you. It just hurts so much going through all this pain alone and at 18.

well imagery about loneliness and addicted, sadly to read it line by lines, but there always a great things to conquer the emptiness and loneliness inside :)
