Crystal Meth. Poem by JOSE MURGUIA

Crystal Meth.

Rating: 4.8


hi crystal how you been?
it's me your ex from way back then,
i remember how you made me feel,
do you remember how i almost got killed,
there where times you made me rob and steal,
i would stay up and look for you all night,
there where times i would argue and fight,
sometimes i wouldn't get a wink of sleep,
just waiting for you to come and creep,
you made me imagine things that weren't there,
i thought you loved me but in reality you didn't care,
when i almost overdosed you weren't there,
i got real skiny and pail and people just stared,
my mouth was dry and i couldn't eat,
there where times when i just thought you brought me to defeat,
we should have broken up years ago,
but for some reason i just couldn't let go,
you took away everything to a point
where there was almost nothing left,
but i'll never forget your first or last name crystal meth....

you made me imagine things that weren't there, i thought you loved me but in reality you didn't care, actually when u love someone you feel that he also loves u then u realise that he hates u :) nice poem.

I donot know if there is a man or a woman who breathes and has not once in life been 'defeated' in love. But if there is one, s/he has not known a whole dimension of life. For, pain, as it can cripple, can also open unknown galleries of experience and sensitivity. Sometimes, one cannot rate a poem, because one cannot have an objective view of it. I can just say thanks very much for sharing.

Well Jose, I like the rhythem and the subject. I hope you are sincere in staying away from this stuff. I only have heard about these drugs, but never did any so I don't know how hard it is to stop. I just pray that you have defeated this monster. Good message for anyone who would dare to think about doing. I reallly like the way you composed the poem, a very good write. Your friend Lynn.
