&quot;How can I move forward if I don&#039;t know which direction I am facing?&quot; -John Lennon <br /> <br /> &quot;This poem is the poem I am writing because we aren&#039;t speaking and it&#039;s making my heart hurt so bad that sometimes I can&#039;t make it up off the floor.&quot;

They warned me

They tried to teach me

but I never listened

With every hiss

And every alcohol soaked kiss

crawling with putrid lies

I fell further and further into her game

Like a deer trapped 

about to get shot
