Addiction

The words that are still being said,
the things I should express
to speak out what's on my heart,
I simply can't figure it out.

I've battled with my feelings,
I've kept them close to my heart.
For so long, I didn't want to confront what
You made an effort to conceal yourself.

I've been disoriented in the night
I haven't seen any light for so long.
preserving the memories
of a period when everything was in order.

I have observed your face.
and noticed the melancholy in your eyes,
the fight against addiction
You are no longer able to hide.

I've prayed to receive the solutions.
of what I must do for myself.
I've also prayed for courage to fight.
through the torture I experience.

I've clung to this for so long.
But I can't stand by any longer as you pass away.
I am powerless to defend you in this,
Lord knows I've tried, though.

Watching the people you love suffer is just so difficult.
Slip away gradually.
I just blocked it out because of that.
and kept the day before.

I don't know all the solutions.
the ability to save your soul, etc.
You're hurt, lost, and alone.
and I can't heal you completely.

Only you and yourself can win this battle.
Regardless of what I do,
I am powerless to save you.
You are the only person who can.
