Forget To Cry

Heavy metal pounds in my head
As I lie and shiver in a sweat-soaked bed
I can reminisce on days that have passed
The best thing about life is that it never lasts
I stare out the glass and wonder why
The sun became silent and the birds learned to cry
If tomorrow happens to find it my way
I will hope beyond hope that  it is my last day
Heroin has severed all hope from my being
Denial has raped me from clearly seeing
As I lie and ponder if life’s really fair
I slap my vein and inject more despair
Wish like a child that this is the end
Pull out the syringe to die next to my friend
To enter into the ultimate high
Fade to black - forget to cry

WoW!! What can I say? I luv this one too!! This is very dark & I can't relate to the heroin part, but I have had the same thoughts & feelings from time to time!! Most of the time it passes, hope it does the same for you!! The last line really got to me, the flow is wonderful! Great job all 'round!!

A descriptive piece which ultimately leaves a hard message - of all the reasons why not to do just that.  May we never forget to cry over our losses, and find the strength to go on in spite of others' failures.

Sunshine has a point.  I can only imagine the shadows your seeing.  Here's hoping that some tears make it to the surface friend...

This is so real I can taste it.

Made me sweat ice water.

I really don't know what else to say, but is it a good sign if this made me sick?

(not my usual way to reply, but I think you would understand)

hugs, shudders, and tears...

Wow this is really good... a bit depressing, but quite understandable! I enjoyed this!

I've said this to you before, but I hope people think and think seriously after reading your work. My best to you.

I've lost a friend long ago because of that needle madness.
Well written, but a painful reality to read.
Hope all is well, and the needle is history.
