The Hollow-Days Of Addiction.
(A Christmas message for all )
Christmas has come back again
For the third year in a row
And we haven't seen
our precious son
Ever since he had to go
To jail then off to rehab
Then violating
two probation's
the court ordered no contact
So we've had no conversations
Cause he'd abused
his Mom so much
Leaving her soul terrified
and came after me so angrily
Every time that he got high
we both tried in
every way we could
But then we had to say goodbye....
Christmas on drugs and alcohol
Was never a good mix
Hanukkah plus cruel addictions
Just brings candle sadly lit
Santa Claus and faith in God
Are not enough to bring a fix
Only he can save himself
No one else can heal his needs
That have made both our hearts bleed
while he spends his hollow days
Struggling to find ways to succeed.
He'll spend another Christmas
In sober living all alone
Far away from both his parents
Knowing that he can't come home
And it cuts us deeply to the bone
Cause our tough love is no fun
But drugs and alcohol have stolen
Our most precious son
Until he proves that he is cured
and his addictions are all done.
So if you too are like our son
Suffering the same afflictions
I hope this poem moves you to flee
Back to the true life
you've been missing
Because those who
love you can't survive
Living with the endless friction
Of your lies and thefts
And thier hopes left swept
Underneath your opposition
Your loved ones all must separate
themselves from your positions
Of your loving highs even as they cry
Over your tragic conditions
Leaving you alone
while they sit at home
Praying for you and each one wishing
That you will give all that you've lost
Some serious recognition
Before you end up lying
Under a marble inscription
that leaves them all
Without your love
Another victim of addiction
so many others just like you
Have faced Death's Benedictions....

This poem is dedicated to ny son,
my only child who has been
through his fault alone absent from
my wife and I for 3 years
