Learn, don't regret

You write your twisted, ugly prose
Cut deep, watch as your blood flows
Just a phase your going through
Those teenage way hold onto you
Adult habits forge their marks
In empty houses and moonlit parks
Experimenting drink and drugs
A dark and dreary future tugs
You write those words
And sing your curse
There's nothing left that we can do
Except for hold on tight to you
I know that the disease is spreading
I feel infected, dirty, rotting
Putrid from the lies and anger
No reason to resist for longer
Now you've passed the curse to me
You no longer need to be
Lone, defensive in your ways
Your mind's alive, your heart's ablaze
The toil is through, we near the end
Is this the last I'll know of my friend
Who can't let go, nor share the truth
That threatens to break her love of youth
She makes her choice, moves on once more
Till Satan's rapping at her door
She's tempted fate and fate's been tempted
Risking what she knows is sacred
Little Miss. Her, too high to ascert
That what she is doing is going to hurt
All of those around her, especially him
The prospect of adulthood's far too grim
It grows much closer, our innocence is lost
What it is replaced by, isn't worth the cost

I'm afraid I don't type very well at 5a.m. after being awake all night; another poem, another mistake. This time I've left an 's' off 'way' in the second line.
Again, apologies. |

Oh please - you have nothing to apologize for! I wish I was half as well spoken as you when I was younger! AND surely I was not as insightful. I'm really amazed that you've 'seen' so much and pondered it so fully. This is a terrific, thoughtful poem - laced with a bit of sadness and loss. Really, really well done!
Impressed -
