Pain Leads To Drugs And Suicide Poem by Ashley Kolakowski

The pain leads to drugs and suicide.
Cutting and smoking
Blood everywhere.
Used needles.
Empty bottles of liquor.
You can smell death.
She went down the wrong road.
The betrayal was too much.
He tried to help her.
But gave up, Just like the rest.
Hold her when she is too high.
Carry her when she passed out from the alcohol.
Bandage her after she cut.
He had to watch the one he loved, die slowly.
Entering that house.
Seeing that 17 year old girl.
She had to be beautiful at one time.
Now she is skin and bone.
Cuts and needle marks all over.
If only she would have listened.
He wouldn't have killed himself too.
Grabbed her lifeless hand and used the other to stab himself.
Two young lovers,
Never seen the real world,
They look peaceful,
As we zip the black bags.
