Looking into the clear blue skies, Wishing I could ease your pain, And wipe away your lonely cries. I saw you always so sad, Taking drugs And then getting mad. We dragged you to the shower, Watched you throw up, Knowing you'd lost all power. We knew there was something terribly wrong, You were going to be dead, It wasnt going to be long. But that was the way you wanted to go, I knew inside, It was the only way your feelings show. Dont get me wrong, Im not blaming you, I knew it all along. Just look at me when I look above, Sometimes, I just wish you were to here to Love. [This message has been edited by Beth (edited 07-17-2000).] |

Being that I have had to see and cope with close family members going through such turmoil with drugs, I can completely understand your origins for this. It is a very sad part of life... |

Beth. As everyone has said above I just want to express sympathy for what you went through. Watching the self-destruction of a person who is close to you is never an easy thing. We all find ways to deal with it, and I'm glad you have found the expression of writing. Hugs K |

~Severn, Im extremely grateful for your reply.Self destruction is very difficult, but watching it for 8 years I understand now why it happens. Depression can lead a person into devastating paths~ ~Butterflies_dont_cry..It is a very common thing but unfortunately it is not always seen by family and friends..Thankyou for your reply~ ~Pout..You friendship always shines out. You know the endless nights i have cried and you've always been there..Thankyou so much~ ~Saunni...Thankyou for your reply, Just wanted to say that Im not sorry this happened.It taught me the value of life..and what i want to get out of mine..Thankyou again~ Again thanks for all of the replies everyone has given me.. |
