Would you have rotted my mind and sent me to jail.
Could I of stayed the way I was without all the pain.
I reach for you daily and you are not there,
I wish you were closer
things seemed so much better when I was with you
even though you took every last drop of my soul.
Not a day goes by that I dont think of you
what you gave me,
what you took from me was worse in the end
I guess things worked out the way they were supposed to
because addiction was not my friend.
Things were supposed to be so different you were supposed to be so glamourous like gold
but at the end of the day you were like pyrite and I was a fool.
I lost years of my life because of you but still I want you each day
it takes all I have within me to keep you away
this battle within me I feel I will never win
and I will now say so long to what I thought was my friend.

Post a CommentAny addict knows EXACTLY how you feel- myself included. Very well done. Losing addiction (it feels like a loss, even tho it's recovery) feels like losing a friend and confidante....it's tough
Poems are windows to one's soul. I sure hope you're winning the battle.
