There was a time when life for me, had no meaning at all,
I ached for you my darling,in love you made me fall,
I awoke from my dreams of you, my sheets were soaked with sweat,
You are my lonely addiction, an addiction I long to forget.
Days would go by, I thought I was strong,
but you were always there, to show me I was wrong,
when family would tell me how horrible I looked,
I'd run to you for comfort, pretending I was not hooked.
My body getting smaller, my guilt has taken its toll,
loss of feelings and emotions, forgetting every goal,
you are my addiction, my only true friend,
but now time has come, for this friendship to end.
I want to take my soul back, and be who I was back then,
it was you that made me unable to feel, well, I want to feel again,
I beg for you to leave me now, let me forget all the times we shared,
I realize now that you lied to me about being the only one who cared.
This has been a constant struggle that most couldn't understand,
whenever I feel weak and lost, addiction is there holding out his hand,
telling me he can make me feel beautiful, like he did when we first met,
he is my addiction, my addiction I long to forget.

Awwwsome write girl! great job. I simply love the teardrop. On a personal level I can relate, as in dealing with a family member with an alcohol addiction. I also work with addicts alike in my profession, so this is a very touching read for me.
If this is your battle..you have my support and my prayers, if it is not..you have great insight!
