Why is it so valuable to you <br />Don't you have a clue <br /> <br />Is it that important more so than me <br />Little white dust that's all I see <br />God to you nothing to me <br /> <br />I hear you in the room next to my own <br />Snorting sounds but I don't think your alone <br />I hear someone else <br />Someone unknown <br /> <br />Living in poverty to feed your addiction <br />Starving dehydrating the pain your afflicting <br /> <br />Two kids but you cast them aside <br />To family members so you can try to hide <br />Who you really are inside <br /> <br />Then one day I come home <br />Your not there <br />I get a call on the phone <br /> <br />The cops had came and went <br />The ambulance took you <br />And you were sent <br /> <br />Away for a while <br />While I was taken away <br />Thrown into a pile <br /> <br />Of problems you created <br />None were my own but still I was fated <br /> <br />To deal with them <br />Screaming on the inside <br /> <br />Nowhere to run <br />Nowhere to hide <br /> <br />So I sat and I cried <br />While you went and lied <br />Trying to get me back on your side <br /> <br />Still I always wondered why?<br /><br />Rodney Quills<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-13/
