Her Downward Spiral

Have you ever stopped to wonder

That it’s not just your heart that’s broke

Your choices are much louder 

Than the words that you have spoke

Now you’re sinking deeper 

With every line of coke you hit

Shooting up your dope

Till both your mind and veins are split

You’ve started falling faster 

Down into that rabbit hole

You need to find your own way out 

Or you might lose your soul

I’ve loved you since the day we met, 

When you first stole my breath

But this path that you’re now walking down, 

Will only lead to death

For one last time, I’m reaching out, 

Please just grab my hand

I can’t watch you as you spiral, 

Forever lost in that quicksand

If you decide to pick addiction, 

Then it’s your loved ones who will lose

It might be a hard decision, 

But it’s you that has to choose

Everyone of us unravels, 

And over time our edges fray

It’s how we choose to heal 

That gets some lost along the way

So God, if you are listening… 

She’s the one You need to save

Or next time her children see her, 

It will be standing by her grave

And I will not stay and watch you 

As you slowly fade away

So please reach out and grab my hand

And together... we will take it day by day
