My Life Poem by Eric Adams

cold and dark
dirty and dry
this my life
this life i live

why must i lose only to gain
why must i die only to live
this i ponder deep down inside

life comes and goes
the begining and end
were light does not go

sick and weak
my heart all bleeding
stuck with this curse
this curse on a stick

it drives me to want
to consume more
tell death do us part
this stick o mine
never shall it leave

left and right
my body turns
nowhere to run
nowhere to hide

lost in my sickness
lost in my curse
why o why can't you leave
it sticks like glue

my heart a hole
only growing ever more
my lungs a black sack
only left to crack

i cry every night
i cry all day
my pain only grows
so much pain
so little joy

once a big brother
now a mornful man
once a sister
now a distant memory

you died in pain
now live in peace
this memory o mine
only grows ever more painful

a man left to die
a man left in his thoughts
this my life
my life of misery

life like most
yet distant from all
once a darkness
now a light
