Save Him From Himself

 This morning I woke with your love.

Last night I shivered at the thought...

That I would destroy my time for you.

Because once again I got you, you're caught.

My eyes filled like waves so strong. 

But the faith in my heart was already gone.

The butterflies in my stomach still appear.

But that wont matter once your dead my dear.

I was willing to break my own heart this time.

Fool me twice, three times , its all on me.

But I'm a scared little girl inside, scared to leave.

Leave the little boy behind, It's a Man I need.

This journey is moving backwards for you.

Time is traveling in two different directions.

I cant make you change as much as I wish I could.

And I'm no saint at heart I've got my own imperfections.

I believe In love but your love is different.

Your in love with a demon  named heroin.

I breathe addiction to but it doesn't run my life anymore.

I don't know how to save you from yourself  or the state your in.

I need to step back and leave you at a distance.

For our hearts are together but our minds are not.

Please God save him from himself.

Or else I will travel on and in time his life will rot.

Hmm . . . I amn't sure if you intended this, but I saw a twist going on in the poem. More like a tease, actually. The speaker is heroine, and she is just taunting the man she so easily possessed to take her more. Meant or no, enticing concept. It could almost be pulled off the page and performed by Slug (musician).
