Addict

Addict

living your life in the darkness,

While always running away from

the light, the evils of addiction

has taken you far away from

the fight. I miss you so very

much, and who you used to

be, so loving and a caring

person whom I no longer

ever get to see. All of the

love and affection that we

had once shared has been

taken by all of your hurtful

lies. For you and married

now to your addiction as I

can see it in your bloodshot

eyes. All of the late nights

that I stayed up and worried,

if you were dead or sitting in

jail, waiting for a phone call

from the devil, who is waiting for

you now in hell. Maybe one

day you will know how much

that I loved you, and that I

tried everything that I could,

but I have no more fight in

my heart or even in my soul,

so I need to leave you and

your addiction for good.

Please do not ever think that

I do not still love you as I still

cry when I hear our song, but

I just cannot keep you from

falling anymore for I am no

longer all that strong.

Always remember that I

loved you and I will try to

remember a time that you

loved me but I would rather

remember the old you, not

the you, which I now see.
