Addict’s Prayer

I pray for clarity
I pray for hope
I pray for the desire to relinquish the dope
I can’t cope
And every time I try and put it down it screams out nope nope nope
The war on Terror’s going on inside my head
But the Terror’s me, me trying to kill me dead
Always leaving something unsaid

Departed

Silent sighs
That come in threes
I count them out
With shaky knees
Don’t fold
Don’t falter
Or try to alter
Still, the frigid cold

Rage

This flame it burns
Though embers fade
With ashes in their wake
This flame burns on
I use the heat to fuel desire
Rabid rapid labored breaths.
This flame engulfs
