You were never there to tuck me into bed
No, you were never there at night when I was scared
Mama, where were you when I needed you most
Mama tell me why all alone I had to cope
The other kids at school, well they all had a mum
The other kids, the other kids all had someone
I never had a close friend, one to call my own
Someone just to laugh with – I always cried alone
When I needed bandages there was no one round
No-one to feed me chicken soup when I was down
Mama you left me, I might as well have died.
Mama when you left me I wonder if you cried.
Then when I got older the emptiness it grew
In every room, in every crowd I was dying to find you
All the endless, empty bars in this empty city
Faceless people on the streets and roads that hold no pity.
Still alone I travelled following the sun
Each time loneliness came to me I’d just up and run
Mama did I do something wrong, tell me was I bad
To make you give away the little child you had.
You were never there to tuck me into bed
No, you were never there at night when I was scared
Mama, where were you when I needed you most
Mama tell me why all alone I had to cope
The other kids at school, well they all had a mum
The other kids, the other kids all had someone
I never had a close friend, one to call my own
Someone just to laugh with – I always cried alone
When I needed bandages there was no one round
No-one to feed me chicken soup when I was down
Mama you left me, I might as well have died.
Mama when you left me I wonder if you cried.
Then when I got older the emptiness it grew
In every room, in every crowd I was dying to find you
All the endless, empty bars in this empty city
Faceless people on the streets and roads that hold no pity.
Still alone I travelled following the sun
Each time loneliness came to me I’d just up and run
Mama did I do something wrong, tell me was I bad
To make you give away the little child you had.
‘Love is Rebuilding My Life’
By Phillip
There’s irony, hypocrisy, fallacy, a vast ocean of distance to cross. The “saint”, the “sinner”, it’s lunacy, that the ignorant could save the lost.

Methfairytale
By Karie
I’m not belle of the ball, not the very least, but we have something in common, I’m in love with a beast. But the beast is not a person but a drug that I call meth, I’ve been talking to myself for hours, I’m running out of breath.
