Bleak clouds
& fortune
hovered
around
the star-studded town


I was lifted high
then propelled far down
into the depths
of eternal despair


A sickening flair
for the dramatics
& the addicts

The angels summoned you
To illuminate my path
&
Guide me on track

I may reminisce
on the days of black
When my mind
was out of whack
hands grasping
a bottle of jack

But I can not
& will not
go back
