You chose the dark path,
Deceit your only companion.
No longer recognizing the light of hope.
One time too many
Temptation took command
There is no more fight,
Your eyes, like shale,
Are dry from lack of tears,
Murky orbs
nonreflective
Allowing no light out, or in.
Refusing to see the sadness
Reflected in other eyes,
rejecting the burden of expectations.
The door between
barely cracked.
A choice was made.
By the drug?
I want to believe it wasn’t you
Who turned his back
On everything,
For death.
