The Missing Puzzle Piece Poem by Axley Jade Blaze

I try to think of
One reason you left me
And I try to envision
Why you did reject me

Yet, I cannot seem
To really place it
Your incessant need to keep using
Or, maybe I can't really face it

How could I provide you
With what heroin could?
How could I give to you
What that drug, it could?

So seductive, so peaceful
Even graceful when dying
As we'd shoot through the sky
So high we were flying

I think of your smile
I remember those eyes
So Sad
And, so blue
A devil—in disguise

YOU—were my drug
YOU—were my breath
And now it is over
And now I face death

So empty—I am
I feel as if I am dead
I now close my eyes
Because I cannot look ahead

I remember the touch
—The touch of your hand
I remember those emotional waves
Which I now know that I can't stand

And now part of me wants
—Wants you to bleed
To scream and to cry,
To feel, and to need!

To know what it feels like
To be abandoned
For you to do this to me
I could never even have fathomed

Yet, there it is—
The writing has been written
Across the wall
And I feel like I've been bitten

By something powerful,
And deadly,
And raw
Like the bite of a viper,
Yes, I freeze,
But, don't thaw.

As the venom starts flowing,
Right through my veins
I shriek,
And I choke,
As I now lie in pain

I try to get up—
Yes, I try to fight
But I can't find the value;
It just doesn't seem right

So, I kiss you goodbye,
And then, I spit in your face!
It is your existence that I—
Dream to erase

Your voice,
And your sorrow
Your anger,
And despair
And the notion—
That you, you don't even care

One time we lived
United, as one,
But, that time has ended:
Yes, we've come undone

And, like a missing puzzle
It's centerpiece
I'm left strewn and scattered,
Overcome by defeat

Yet, you will be the one
To eventually lose
When you are the one
Who again starts to use

And you'll use until it's over
And you're ripped
And you're broken
As you sit on the floor
Left rotting and choking!

And then I will chuckle,
Hell—I might even grin
My life I'll renew
A new life, I will begin.
