Relapse is a fall from grace
To slip away and lose your place
From life's monotonous rat-of-a-race
Drawn forward by a devilish lace-

He pulls you on a wayward path
The noose, it tightens, as you gasp
For air, for life, not on this track
Of twisted lines and cellophane packs

Continue, trapped, your body weak
Teetering hopelessly on a forelorn peak
He's got you now, your soul he seeks
Tears of despair stream down your cheek
 
It's now too late - the end is near
The wind, it whispers in your ear
 "I will pleasure you eternally in my lair- 
Wrap your hand in Death, my lovely dear."

Wow, you finally posted!!!!!!!!
I have been checking everyday since April!!!

I hope all is well...I miss PRIZE...

I have written over 20 poems since May and some of the stuff is really dark & depressing. I have had many up/down days over the past few months. June was very tough for me but July is getting better.

Thank god for meds and therapy! lol

^^ Very slick.
Nice to see yeah posting again, Prize
This poem is a very solid drop, man.
Good rhyme scheme, great content. Dark wordplay at it's finest.

Hi prozacpoet and def,
TY for your responses-I really do feel connected to both of your writings.

Prozacpoet- it is great to hear from you too. I have also been trudging along...yes, a tough few months for me too. I miss posting and writing! It is definitely part of my own therapy! I miss your poems and I hope to read some of your new poems soon

Def, thanks for you compliments on my poem - I very much related to your poem on addiction- thank you.  Reading and relating to others' writings ( esp. Your poetry and prozacpoet's poetry) helps ME. --p

That's good to hear.
You should check out "End of Days"
I made a flash to go along with the poem.
The link is with the poem. I think you will like it.
