Array ( [sid] => 4745 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => My Prayer for You [time] => 2002-10-08 08:15:00 [hometext] => This poem is dedicated to all those in the grips of drug addiction. [bodytext] => I sit here and feel, helpless inside, watching another loved one, slowly dying inside,
Unaware of the effects, of the white rocks that posses, and eat up your soul, just like the rest,
The rest of the people, that I held so dear, and I had to watch helpless, while my eyes filled with tears,
Watch them give in, time after time, watch them slowly changing, from those little white lines,
I sit here and wonder, why god, why, why must I watch, another friend tell lies,
To try to conceal, the addiction that feeds, on their pure loving soul, just like a disease,
It will turn them into someone, I won’t recognize, please god, please, please hear my cries,
I plead from my soul, with each tear that falls, please take the urge away from them, silence meths voice that calls,
Calls to them darkly, it’s hard to ignore, but why in the hell, can’t they say no any more?
I am so ***** off; there is nothing I can do, to make them understand, that what I am saying is true,
I have seen it too much, I have seen it annihilate, I’ve seen it take a loving heart, and turn it to hate,
I have felt the addiction, my own lips uttered the lies, to try to cover up, my hearts urgent cries,
Knowing that it will change you, it’s killing me inside, I pray for you this morning, I feel a changing in the tide,
The Lord is watching over you, pulling at your soul, his voice is urging you to stop, listen, and let him take control,
Do not ignore him, he is guiding you today, his voice won’t be silenced, as I continue to pray,
Kill the demon inside, that posses my friend; make him know I will help him, until the very end,
There is a battle that rages, inside his soul, it’s between good and evil, let the light take control,
I call on an angel, to watch over you, no matter what your decisions, no matter what you do,
Know that God loves you, I love you too, I want you to win this fight, defeat just won’t do,
You have the strength inside, to have victory over speed, don’t let it take control of you, don’t give in to the need,
All you have to do is pray, instead of take a hit, God will give you what you need, to get through all of it,
Turn to him in times of trial, and when you are weak, He will surely strengthen you, let it be him you seek.

I sit here and feel, helpless inside, watching another loved one, slowly dying inside,
