Addiction Kills and our children are left to suffer!

             Drinking,partying,sex and drugs,
     her mommy was not there to give her kisses or hugs

            Her daughter just wanted to play.
                But she shew'd her away

                She craved to get high.
                 So she ignored her cry

      The addiction took over and won every time.
    She spent every last dollar every nickel and dime.

  She forgot what all was impotant and didnt care who she hurt.
      Shed do anything for that needle even give up her shirt.

      She stopped cooking,cleaning even paying her bills.
         Nothing else mattered except cooking her pills.

She would sleep all day leaving her daughter to fend for herself.
       Not knowing how to cook or even reach the shelf.

       It soon started to worsen and mom was getting sloppy.
            Leaving her evidence for the taking
               was her daughter soon to copy?

   She was always getting sick complaining her body would ache.
     Wrapped in a blanket while sweating she started to shake.

           Shivering all over with her lips turning blue
                "dont't worry mommy " she cried!
                     you must have the flu

            Those innocent blue eyes didn't understand.
        But that her mother was going through withdrawls
               as the child grabbed for her hand

           "I'll take care of you the little voice said.
     Feeling completely disgusted she turned and shook her head

              That was it,she was done for good.
          She knew what to do, she knew what she should

         She was taking her suboxen and starting just fine.
           But soon came Mr. Addiction eating at her mind.

                     No!NO! I can't,go away!
                But the temptation only grew stronger
                    getting stronger by the day.

   It took her when she was weak as she plunged for the spoon.
       Searching for a needle she was very shorty doomed!

         When she was done she stood up and began to fall.
    Wobbling to her bed she heard her daughter starting to call.

       She told her she was tired and just wanted to sleep.
     Ignoring her daughters needs the child began to weep.

       As her head went down and her eyes did not wake
    Her little girl just started and soon started to shake

             "MOMMY,MOMMY", please wake up!
         But she did not move so she reached for a cup

         Splashing water on her face her daughter had tried.
       But her mommy wasn't breathing and she knew she had died
           not knowing what to do she crawled up her side

 Laying next to her now lifeless mother she dropped out a tear
         squeezing her lightly she filled up with fear

                            "Mommy"?
