Dave, a poem I wrote Options

[potmonkeyjd]

Dave
Little boy, Lost in the big bad world
Trying just to make it out alive.
Can’t save himself,
I tried.
But he wants to save himself.
Full of Jack D and coke,
I cried to him,
Begged him not to pull the trigger.
He walks around my neighborhood now,
Half dead, half alive.
I tried to save what’s left of his soul,
But he wanted to save himself.
Cigarette smoke filled the air,
As I pleaded with him,
To love me, and save him.
He did neither,
He still walks around my neighborhood,
Now he's not alive,
A ghost for a soul,
A slave for a body.
I could never save him,
He wouldn’t let me try.
That’s why the love of my life,
Tried so hard to die.
