In the Arms of Despair

In the arms of despair
Don’t worry shell take good care of me there
Water is running hot and coming in fast
This numbness inside of me will soon pass

Im cradled in her arms on floor
my body spewing her palette of colorless hues
The pied piper is approaching its time to pay my dues
Can you here him calling as he sings a song of forgotten sorrows
She promises me this is my deliverance for there will be no tomorrow

I pray Ill see the light from heavens gates Im sure it will not come
Ive left so much destruction in my path too much to overcome
You had a life envisioned a plan to execute to perfection
Weight that I burden myself with has lead me in a different direction




Im still alive I feel so dazed and lost does she no longer care
I search my mind I search my body for the arms of despair
Has she given up on me as everyone else has already done
Does she not know how much I adore her ,
shes defeated me she has already won

It is not I who needs safe jacket from drowning
Stop kicking that door in
I will find my way back here again and again
I know you are confused, scared and unprepared
Don’t worry Im in the arms of despairs
she always takes good care of me there.

About this poem:
I witnessed a drug overdose of someone who survived, this is my way of dealing with it trying to view it from their point of view.
