Addiction

Yes, it's been awhile, I know.  Anyway, I finally for the first time wrote and finished a song on the guitar yesterday.  Here are the lyrics to it...(not really a poem, but hey, get over it.)

There were so many nights I tried to deny

the path I watched you take

There were so many times I tried not to cry

as I watched you walk away

Is it too late now, can you hear my voice?

As I call for you?

Your footsteps echo in an empty room

as all you know fades away

Cuz I hear your cries echo to the sky

as you try to hide the pain

Can’t you see I’m still waiting here

for you to run to me?

There were other voices stronger than mine

that tried to call you away

There were ropes that tied you once to me

but now they’ve begun to fray

It’s too late now, you’ve made your choice now

As the picture fade to grey

Don’t go too far down that road so long

where you’re sure to lose your way

CHORUS

BRIDGE

When the emptiness takes hold on you

 will it be far too late?

When the pain takes place of your soul

will you fight to start again?

CHORUS

So don’t run too far

run back to my arms

I’ll save you from yourself
