I hear your voice, up in my head
telling me to go to bed
but I cant sleep, for I will die
living each day as it goes by.
You come up behind me and hold me still
every breath which i can feel.
You hold me safe from all the pain,
but with all my hurt, i am stained.
All my scars, from blades so deep
help me cry, myself to sleep.
You took them away and told me "no"
now I have nowhere to go.
You told me once, but i told you twice
I'll just do a little slice.
You hold my hand and grasped it tight
as I pull against with all my might.
You pull me closer, as i start to cry
as I give my life a sweet goodbye.
I want the black kiss, that I used to feel,
I want to pop more pills.
You tell me "no"
won't let me still.
With all my pain that I still feel.
I kiss your arm that is wrapped around me.
Feelings of love and devotion surround me.
You lay me down onto my bed
you put your arm under my head.
You say you love me,I love you, too!
I'm covered up, wrapped up tight.
I cuddle closer and say goodnight...

Wow, what a difference a person can make in the life of another when they put their love into action. I am very glad that you shared the story of how important another person was in your life.
Best of luck in the contest and thanks for sharing this with us. -
I can tell that the emotions and words in your poem were personal as this isn't something someone could fake. I can tell he means a lot to you and I know its always nice to have someone close to comfort you. Great job at the rhyming, form, and with the poem all around. Thanks for entering

Thank you for entering.
It is good that you had someone there for you at such a time as you write of here... that can be the difference between being able to cope and giving up all hope.
No one I guess can fully understand the problems that others face and why... just being there for them and truly caring what happens to them is what matters most.
Well done and thank you for entering the contest

A well written poem on an addiction that many cannot understand. It is wonderful when you have someone that can step in and help give you the strength to stop.
Let the ink flow and your fingers dance
