A Loss

A feeling that's unknown,
A substance that's been abused.

Swallow is down fast,
Bottle after bottle, once again.
There's no effect you say,
Just screwed in the head.
Loss of breath and numbness,
No, how can this be normal?

A smile that has been replaced with a frown,
A happy life filled with pain and tears.

Laughing at the silly jokes,
Just having fun, being happy.
Abuse within scares me,
I can't trust you now.
You say, never again,
You said that before, another lie.

A beautiful girl left to hide away,
A soul broken and strings frayed.

Withdrawn from the crowd,
No one knows you anymore.
I don't know the facts, figures,
Of what's happening with you.
I can't handle being like this,
Not knowing what to do.

A fright in the night,
A scar within never fades.

I can't sleep knowing,
You're not fine.
Scared of losing you,
I don't want it to come to this.
Loss of cells, memory and love,
It will repair; it won't disappear.

A loss for me, for you.
