The Cold Hard Truth

By wildbrushfire

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The dagger of addictionsinks deep into my heart.Succumbed to it once againbut not of my own volition.Through you I see myself,my struggles, my anger, my fear.As you have been there for meI will be there for you.The tables have turnedand now I am the motherand you are my daughter.Trying to help youbreak free from this unreality.I want to help youbut I’ve been toldyou can only do it for yourself.It’s hard to step asideand watch someoneyou love waste away,It’s the fear I’ve triedso hard to break away from,but if I don’t I mayhave to give up myself.I don’t want to say goodbyebut seeing you now, rememberingthe way you were beforeFills my heart with a pain which it can no longer bare.Please hear me outdon’t let the fantasybecome your reality.I have been thereI know what it’s likeand it’s not like it was beforeit’s much better.If you try I know you will seebut you have to try at least.
