Come Back To Me Poem by Ari Ryan

I see it in your eyes,
As you bow to pray.
The drugs had worn you down,
But what counts is you’re here today.
You’ll never know how much I care,
All those amazing times we shared.

I see it in your eyes,
The hurt, pain, frustration.
You want to enter reality,
Although It seems to risky.
Every day is Russian Roulette,
Taking a bet with your soul.
You see nothing but that wall,
And those drugs you’ve always known.

I see it in your eyes,
Your cry for help to God,
He seems too far away
To be here to help you today.
You don’t see him
Right in front of you
Truthfully, though,
You always knew.

I see it in your eyes,
Hiding from all your fears.
All those things that brought you down
And took you here over the years.

I see it in your eyes,
Your search for something more.
The truthful color of them that
They’ve never been before.
You’re pale, skinny and weak.
Shaking, afraid, meek.
I know that theirs more to you,
Truth is that you do too.

I see it in your eyes,
You fighting for your life,
That uncertain will to survive.
The soldier you always wanted to be.
So fight your fight with all your might,
Win, please...
then come back to me.
