--AN ADDICT I'M NOT.....--

An Addict I'm Not...
© Randi Gray

~
*An Addict I'm Not...

so he pushes me away hoping I won't see it,

and lead him astray

~

*An Addict I'm Not...

but I must still live the life

dealing and coping

praying one day he'll stop

~

*An Addict I'm Not...

maybe I feel it more

knowing any moment, he could walk out that door

~

*An Addict I'm Not...

I live all alone

sure he's here beside me,

but it's not him that's home

~

*An Addict I'm Not...

so I deal with his lies

the deceit and the pain

and all the tear free cries

~

*An Addict I'm Not...

thinking I could help

one day my love will be enough,

but it won't I can tell

~

*An Addict I'm Not...

I see the pain in his heart and

the fear that grips his soul

as he grabs for his pipe,

and smokes one more bowl

~

*An Addict I'm Not...

if only he could just see

what I see in him

and know he could someday be....

~

*An Addict I'm Not...

so I watch from afar

as he destroys himself

a little more each day....

~

Dear God please help him

each night I'll continue to pray!

~

*Because An Addict I'm Not,

but I must watch him be.....
