one day in the life of Reeves

Dedicated to Reeves, who fell by the way, both angel and devil packaged in his own grief. His angel was crack. And crack was his devil.

the Devil's Angel

my Angel, my trusted friend, i burned my nights with you not

wanting you to end

mourning held me, in twisted sleep

drowning in you, some false

belief

my Devil, my lonely friend, i let you guide my shadow

self to my own end

and you just watched me, falling fast

lustfully crawling, my sinking

path

Sue, you've penned a very realistic view in your poem about your friend.

Thanks so much for your comments. It is very sad for Reeves but I've moved on ... took me a while but I have and I know only he can help himself, or not. I have written a lot that was 'inspired' by Reeves and now and then I might post something under the same heading: one day in the life of Reeves.

Thank you, Marianne. I'm very sorry to hear about your friend. But you're right, everyone needs to want to help themselves before any change can occur in their life. Reeves is alive - somewhere out there ... I wouldn't want to walk a mile in his shoes.

SOme people thrive on other's pain. I have never understood that.
Wonderful piece venting out that pain to release it to the wind. Now just work on you. :)
