| She was twenty-two with nothing better to do, then throw her life away day by day. She was a young lady trapped in a hole, she was all alone with a beaten up soul. As the days went by she lost total control, So unsure what she wanted, everyday she was haunted by her addiction to heroin which slowly took her away, from all those who loved her young, old and gray. She tried to stop but realized she could not. Through all the confusion and no real resolution she finally decided to place herself in an institution. She thought she could do it, she had finally quit. Five weeks down the road she decided to split. Her cravings grew stronger and she could resist no longer. She wanted to get high I'm still not sure why? She knew it was wrong, we all hoped she'd be strong. Lisa warned those she loved that she wasn't the same, she knew all the risk, but still felt the shame The choices she made affected her life because she would never be a mother or wife. Life treated her cruel, life treated her mean, it's sad to say that she'll never be seen laughing and talking and smiling away, Those memories are in my heart forever to stay.

| Sad Recollections Lost in memories of yesterday Thoughts play the emotions, like a the lingering of a remembered tune. I gaze through sad reflective eyes No peace to touch my soul, no words have fallen here, Only sad recollections of what might have been. Too late to ponder now, for I must walk my path alone, Drift on sweet dreams, that I may follow whence your call. © Rhona J 2001 |
