For You, Awry

I know the look in your eyes

The utterly unique and 

overpowering urge

Running down your spine

Through your teeth

Tickling your nose and

dripping down shaky fingertips with

taunting malice.

Need is swarming the room

Oozing from your essence.

I recall similar experiences 

impossible yearning,

frequent frustrations

Unjustified ill behavior

a biting tongue

coated with bitter powder

Consequences are obsolete

when the mind is under

 a blanket of narcotic dust.

Seeing you get a fix

I wish to hold your face in my hands

and remind you of your

beauty

Tell you my love for you is

endless

That I see your misery and my own soul weeps

but suffering is also worthy of

attention.

Though i know, 

i know from younger years 

nodding out on my bedroom floor

These words would surely be lost;

One must often learn alone.

I know

I know where you are going

I cannot go with you.

My love

By what means did your path become so awry?
