Addicted

29 Sep

Your slow suicide

Always made me cry

Wondering if I’d get the chance

To tell you goodbye

Tried living a normal life

While I watched you live a lie

Drowning in hopelessness

Hearing you justify

Mother, you must be blind

Because you fail to see

That your suicide

Is slowly killing me

Your fate was one

Easily predicted

You lived to die

Always addicted

Never getting

What you deserved

You will live on

In my heart preserved

You said you’d quit

All the times I wept

Making promises

That you never kept

Now I’m the one 

Who pays the price

Because you couldn’t take

Your own advice

Always believing

It wouldn’t affect me

Straight from the one

Who should protect me

A sad portrait

You have depicted

Drawn to things

Both evil and wicked

It was a disease

Though self-inflicted

My heart goes out to

Those who love/are the addicted
