The hopelessness of helping an addict. |
To divided loyalties; The addict, the long suffering child at heart, Polarised by his childhood, Pain and anguish from the start. Conception of a victim, Alone from birth, Absorbed by his vulnerability, Aching to be loved; understood. Should he be left? Left to fall, Destruct. Destroy Decimated family; past and present, Absent and known. He is loved, reciprocation is doomed, Poisoned by rejection, Bile and fury assumed; To me to mine that I care for, Fight for, The chasm widens, Full of his gall, obscure resentment. Protect. Resolve. Disown. Purveyor, owner of his hatred, his fear. Clawing at my mind, soul, I prevail in helplessness. |
