FIRST LOVE

FIRST LOVE - dedicated to my daugther after her first love (ex boyfriend) chose drugs over her

To watch the sadness in your daughter’s eyes
And the despair of a love that inevitably dies
My heart is wrenched at seeing her low
For a soul mate and lover that left her so

No one could help him and he had his chance
He chose ‘drugs’ as his lover his ultimate romance
He danced with the devil in a cloud of highs...
Who was he fooling with his endless lies

He wasnt aware of his path of destruction
The Weed, Coke and Ice were his only seduction
They eased the pain of his sorry past
And dulled his thoughts, but that didnt last

So once again he upped his game
By popping more pills but still felt the same
Why don’t I feel like I did at the start?
Drugs will win out and shatter your heart

She blames herself but she couldn’t save him
How could she know that he was out on a limb
She threatened and cried and argued all night
That he was ruining his life with no end in sight

So she left him alone with a backward glance
He sat there motionless, he had no chance
They’ve got him now, sucked in and fooled
He’s not in control, the drugs have ruled

Oh mum she cried what has he done?
Why am I not now ‘his only one’
What do ‘they’ have that I couldn’t give
I suppose it was hope and a purpose to live

When the effects wear off and all hope crumbles
He’s back in ‘reality’ with his moans and his grumbles
So he hits it again and he closes his eyes
And a feeling of ecstasy engulfs his sighs

She has no clue where he is now
It’s been a few months and she’s made a vow
No contact, no thoughts of him in her head
To her he’s lost amongst the living dead

She’s happier now she’s met someone good
Who loves and cherishes her the way he should
She’s reminded sometimes of her ‘first real love’
When she gets a visit from a pure white dove
