Her Downward Spiral
Have you ever stopped to wonder
That it’s not just your heart that’s broke
Your choices are much louder
Than the words that you have spoke
Now you’re sinking deeper
With every line of coke you hit
Shooting up your heroin
Till both your mind and veins are split
You’ve started falling faster
Down into that rabbit hole
You need to find your own way out
Or you might lose your soul
I’ve loved you since the day we met,
When you first stole my breath
But this path that you’re now walking down,
Will only lead to death
For one last time, I’m reaching out,
Please just grab my hand
I can’t watch you as you spiral,
Forever lost in that quicksand
If you decide to pick addiction,
Then it’s your loved ones who will lose
It might be a hard decision,
But it’s you that has to choose
Everyone of us unravels,
And over time our edges fray
It’s how we choose to heal
That gets some lost along the way
So God, if you are listening…
She’s the one You need to save
Or next time her children see her,
It will be standing by her grave
And I will not stay and watch you
As you slowly fade away
So please reach out and grab my hand
And together… we will take it day by day
