    Thanx for stopping by, Roy, and I'm glad the lyrics worked for you -- I absolutely love the lyric competitions...they get to that little part of me from 'waaaay back when' when I actually wanted to be a songwriter! :) ;) Take care and have a wonderful evening! :) :) Yvette

Addiction has to be the worst illness possible, and it's hard to break. It doesn't matter what the addiction is. These lyrics are really good, I had my own tune going for the words and it was really bouncy. Well done and good luck in the contest. :) Sandra xx

These lyrics, Oblivion Calling, are known best by those affected by that undeniable urge to find and keep the feeling of nothingness going all the time. Lots of family with issues and experience with the delicious taste of nothing.

There really was nothing posted but those words and they kindof 'run off' at the end......?? :) :) ;) Take care and have a wonderful evening! :) :)

    You are welcome Y. M. Roger all I know that I don't have any idea how to write a ballad, and you to me just gave me good example of how a ballad should be done

    LOL! just remember, it's not a 'true ballad' as they define in the poetry world as an official ballad poem has set meters/rhymes/etc that don't apply to the world of rock-n-roll! :) ;) This one is aimed at sounding good with some 'metal' behind it (heavy guitars and drums) and really getting to that emotional well we all have! :) ;) Thanx, Gert, I do so enjoy chatting with you -- take care out there! :) :) Yvette

    You are welcome W.M.Roger what ever it is all I know is I like it Gert

    Thanx, Gert...I just know there are many trained poets on this sight that tend to get a little 'bent out of shape' with the wrong usage of technical poetry language so, I just didn't want to over-step any boundaries or step on any toes. :) :) ;) :P :P LOL!

It seems that no matter how much you fight it, you cannot help falling into oblivion here in your song of the spiralling drug cycle, not many addicts are able to life themselves out of it, a poignant write Yvette, love Dolly x
