Black Eyes

I wrote this peom for every person out there who has ever been affected my drug or alcohal abuse, but especially for my friends.

Black Eyes

 

Clouded up by eyes of gray.

What once was living is gone today.

The infection has set in.

The poison can begin,

To take you from me.

 

Don’t dread the shadows for I’ll stay with you…

 

My hand is here;

It’s yours to take.

If darkness covers,

I’ll be here for your sake.

 

I watch your spirit drift away,

With your addiction’s ugly stain.

Your black eyes come back to take,

Your loving touch and warm embrace.

 

I feel you slipping through my fingers.

 

Clouded up by eyes of gray.

What once was living is gone today.

The infection has set in.

The poison can begin,

To take you from me.

 

I know you think it’s what you need.

I know it’s your only law and deed.

You think the thing is bigger than you.

But its temptation took me once too.

 

You can break it!

 

Clouded up by eyes of gray.

What once was living is gone today.

The infection has set in.

The poison can begin,

To take you.

[Coyote Poetry]

Drugs and alcohol are hard demons to fight. I have lost many good friends and family members to the desire of drugs and alcohol. Your words were strong and real. A powerful poem on a hard subject to write about. A outstanding poem.
