Its been so long <br />Since I have had the comfort of your arms <br />A mothers love cannot be replaced <br />Not by anything, least of all this <br /> <br />The drugs over loaded in my veins <br />Alcohol numbs the pain <br />Drift into nightmare speckled sleep <br />Wishing she were here to comfort me <br /> <br />Light up another cigarette <br />Take a long drag, hold my breathe <br />Inhale so deeply, my lungs burning <br />For her I seem to be yearning <br /> <br />Its been so long <br />Since I have played in your heart <br />A mothers love cannot be replaced <br />Not by the substances that make the mind race <br /> <br />I find I am tired of <br />Always running away <br />And attempting to hide <br />In what only brings more pain <br /> <br />Nothing will ever be <br />The same again <br />When you told me you were done <br />And I chose to walk away <br /> <br />And now I feel the longing <br />Something pulling me away <br />From what Ive chosen, this place <br />Every time I dream I see her face <br /> <br />Its been so long <br />Since I have known your art <br />A mothers love cannot be replaced <br />Nothing fills the heart, its empty space <br /> <br />Bittersweet freedom <br />Or another form of prison <br />Take a trip with the acid <br />Another loss, so tragic <br /> <br /> <br />Body awakens, becomes inflamed <br />Fine white powder makes the day <br />But after the high, nothing will change <br />Go and hide in the empty space <br /> <br />Its been so long <br />Since Ive been gone <br />A mothers love Ive missed <br />As I succumb to the substances<br /><br />Guarded Heart<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/can-t-hide-in-the-substances/
