Repetition

Contributed by MajesticPoet on Saturday, 12th April 2008 @ 11:10:58 AM in AEST
Topic: drugabuse

-----------_________------------

Open up the wounds
let the heartache flow again
watch me turn to my addictions
and let temptation be my guide

I’ll quell the pain with thoughts of lust
drown the tears in temporary joys
as I’m tripping up the stairs of life
falling on every step I climb

It’s a blind charge through endless repetition
running into doors I’ve closed
with a history of lies
I can’t do the things I love anymore

I only love one thing now
and it calls to me
at times like these
like a lover lost in the night
it finds me with open arms
and pulls me aside

Am I strong enough to win this fight?
Can I do this all again?
As my strength cracks and breaks
I see how I’ve lied to myself
about the twisted merry-go-round I’m riding
and how long I can hold on
before I’m hurled aside for good

Because even though there’s determination
lurking within my eyes
I can still feel myself fading
disappearing within my mind

There is no exit from this place
There is no victory to be found
Just another day of trials
another day to watch myself grow weak

It’s just my fate
and the cross I bear
watching life turn around
spinning with the hands of the clock
opening up everything that was old
memories I tried to forget
become new again
and I’m sliding

As I'm racing to the end
holding on as strong
as my shattered heart will allow
waiting until I finally slip
and drift into nothingness
losing myself for good
and forever ending
this senseless repetition

WOW!! I can't believe I am reading this!! This poem encompasses so many of the emotions I've felt in the past year or so... but I could never dream of expressing it so eloquently... Fortunately for me, I got off the roller-coaster before I was flung off... Thanks for sharing this.....
