Easier Said, Then Done Poem by J M. Basey

I wonder if my life will ever get better,
I must find a long lasting cure,
To ease the pain I feel,
This open wound I must seal.

I've got to get away,
From this life of sin,
Where do I begin?
How must I pray?

Friends have tried to find,
My inner feelings, which are locked away inside me,
They are not going to win,
I got to impede their ongoing curiosity.

If I could change I would,
If I could take away the pain I would,
If I could alter the past I would,
If I could bring her back I would,
But that's easier said, then done.

All I want to do,
Is to just scream and shout,
Why! ? Why lord why?
My life must be finally through.

It must be my entire fault,
Why did she have to die?
Now true, poignant tears is what I cry,
And it's my entire fault.

Oh look! There's my bottle of pills,
Or shall I go the way she went?
Don't try and prevent me,
Because this message is heaven sent,

If I could change I would,
If I could take away the pain I would,
If I could alter the past I would,
If I could bring her back I would,
But that's easier said, then done.

If only I was there for her,
To take her away from the drugs,
And her so called mates,
They are all mugs.

I know it's too late,
She couldn't escape,
Because she was threatened with rape,
In this life it's a never ending trait.

But I'm here to teach you all a lesson,
Taking drugs, it's a sinner's game,
And the dealer's are all to blame,
I lost her,
The best person in the world,
Now I'll never feel the same.

My life nowadays has no gain,
But in loving memory of my her
I will carry on with my lifre
As I said before, my poetry is a release,
While I go through agonising grief,
It gives me placid relieve,
As I never experience peace,
Why do you think I wrote this song?

If I could change I would,
If I could take away the pain I would,
If I could alter the past I would,
If I could bring her back I would,
But that's easier said, then done.
