This bloodied heart is breaking,
These painted eyes cry.
I shatter with every choice he's making,
Sit back and wonder why.
Disappointed yet again,
Mother why did you fall.
It'll be fine you say, but when,
When will we have it all.
Life is a song,
Cocaine a harmony.
Fighting to stay strong,
Longing to be free.
Left in the dust,
I try to rise above.
Faith begins to rust,
Still I fight for love.
I know one day we'll be okay,
Somehow we'll overcome this.
I'll stand by you the entire way,
Through all the pain and darkness.

Beautifully penned, especially the two stanzas above which really stood out to me.

You've painfully captured the noble truth all romantics seek. Well-written.

Chilling
WoW! This is so deep. I could feel so much emtion through this when I was reading every line. I could feel the longing for love and stability and I could also feel the pain with a broken and withered heart. This is really beautifully written you have a great flow. I love that you say that life is a song and cocain a harmony. I really like that you have that in there it is metaphorical and that really stood out to me. Wonderful write and I wish you the best and hope that it isn't true. If so then you ust hang in there and learn from what you see. And remember darling what doesnt kill you will only make you stronger. I truely love your poetry and hope that you keep up the good work. I believe that youi could make your own book and seal it so well. You are an amazing poet and I hoep that you truely see how talented you are. Keep writing hunnie. Best of luck to you in the contest!!!
