just once
could they feel
compassion for another~

just once
could they be honest
with themselves and another~

just once
let me get my life back
without taking for self~

just once
place your needs, a greed,
and put your drugs on a shelf~

just once
dont make me as you
i have a heart, feelings
oh if you only knew~

just once
help one in need
dont use for your drugsgreed~

just once
dont lie
why is his ring
on your hand now
oh god, please dont deny~

it was a gift from me to him
he said he lost it one day~
well now on your hand
please be honest, ok~

every wher i go
to live and work and write
to be happy once more~
cons with drug problems
stealing and lying
every time i walk out the door~

a human being is more important
than a drug~
i would rather be high
on love or a hug~

all the lies
all the deciete~
well now its time
to gather a reciept~

take all that has been violated
and go to the law~
just once
i wish i didnt have to
but you all broke the last straw~

i let you all get a way
with too much, too long~
now it shall be your turn
to sing or write your own sad song~

just once
a litte honesty
and no games~
your lying stealing selling
for drugs, i refuse to let you
place on me, any blame~

i have helped many
who have fallen from drugs~
or abusive spouses, with punches
instead of hugs~

and in return
i get nothing, but lies and decete~
to the law i go now, i have said it before
better listen , i wont repeat~

a dead cat in front of my house
calling me an old ugly bitch
and a cradle robber, you screamed
and ranted and raved~

in front of my kids and neighbors that day~
you were so spun , we was married, you just
a lay, i didnt do anything to you
so take your lies, your greed, your anger
drugs and just go away!

just once
know he lied from all the drugs and alcohal~
loosing all and blaming me, set me up for a fall~

now its your turn~~

oh Marsha
can I send you a hug?
knowing it is such a small comfort
for such a giant hurt you carry around

best to move forward, away from this memory

Life throws so very many curved balls at us.  Be strong and you will overcome.  And a hug from me too.

Hugs

(big angel comfort hugs) Oh Marsha, I'm sooooooo sorry to hear you've had to cope with this sort of experience, dearest friend, I find it most unsettling indeed that so many sacrifice their own children's needs for drugs, and it breaks my heart to know how so many children are neglected when the addiction becomes fatal! (sad sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, just once I hope everyone can understood there are much greater things at stake that our hearts must all be devoted to, this is powerful, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Marsha, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I agree...I try to be high on life... I can get excited over the littlest things and be content with the same, but yes, love helps as do the hugs of comfort.

I can't say I know what you are going through although alcohol has been the  cause of the change in my life at a time when it is late to be starting over...

wishing you the best

M
