Poetic Verses
Recovery
Here comes your friend who clearly has a drug addiction
Countless time were there, no matter the occasion
Spending hours talking, caring and encouraging to get some counseling
During all that time you can hear those promises coming
How you help too by paying off those little debts
When you went running as those phone calls never let you slept
Feeding you the stories of being in trouble, as those payments were late
Now there were threatening notes be left attached to the gate.
Payment made and again, that promise of trying to get clean
Deep within you know that was because of the current scene
But from the movement your back has gone out the door
There is that compelling pull, back to indulge some more
Another situation in which a friend want to come over
Asking you to allowing to stay, to escape an abusive partner
But when the abuser comes over apologize, there is a departure
Back to the place where there was subjected to such torture.
Victims seem quite oblivious to what is a serious problem
Also apparently not concerned about the effect it has on those who care about them
And seem to believe that the longer they remain in what is now that sanctuary
This will be the comfort zone, all is settled such peace and tranquility
As a friend there will be concern and that need to assist
But sometimes this action, one should try to desist
Recognizing that there is a problem, which needed to be rectified and quickly
So that first step must be made by the person who is in the quandary.
