Lay your head down child
Try to get some rest
The fighting has subsided for now
Covers pulled tight your mind has gone wild
Dreams are enough lying in head
The story the child knows somehow
Change the pattern drift away
Paste apart a face
Rest in the background silhouettes
Of the bedroom to commit
Hearts intwine with lust
Now a broken home what happened to trust
Place the chemical equations
Twist away part of a fray
Beneath his bed below his head
Is the begining of another confrontation
Giving up throwing a life away
Secrets killed the child in a cold sweat
Tears fall as the patterns drift away
Grown up to a ripped apart face
Paint his life in sex in silhouettes
Addictions are all I have
Its all he has
Intwined in a mission love
Only to be pulled apart by lust
Raised in a broken home
What happened to trust that he never had, he never has known
Apart from the choice words
Made from stale milk and honey
Watch the blade cross the wrist
Threw his open door
Sometimes you think he doesn't know
Now he thinks he is nothing
Other then just a miss conceived baby boy
The patterns of his words rip apart
Grown apart raised on torn wrist and peeling off his face
Painted his life in a silhoette
Addictions are all he has
Eighteen years later
And he's nothing but overated dreamer
Intwined in a romance with love
His mind is terrorized by only finding lust
Raised in a broken home
What happened to the child
He never had, He never has known
What the truth is
Ends his life
He can't find
Mother you can't hide
The truth this time

I finally finished it. This one actually turned out to be a very emotional poem for me since I based it after my past and growing up. I hope you enjoy I know it isn't the best.

Oh my God. This was absolutely breathtaking. It was so deep and emotional, I couldn't take my eyes off the page. Good luck.

Well it is definitely not what I had in mind or what I could expect for this title.. but I could definitely feel your emotions in this and I had a feeling that it was a personal experience before reading your note at the bottom, but when i read this line : "Addictions are all I have"
It is very sad, deep and heart-breaking. I could not stop reading it though, you caught me from the start till the very last line.
I liked your poem. I'm not going to say I enjoyed it coz I don't enjoy other people's pain.. but I do like the poem and I hope you will enter again.
