I had thought you actually cared
I guess I was wrong.
An addiction is slowly taking you from me.
Is it worth our friendship?
Does your addiction mean more to you than I do?
I want to understand
I dont want to feel hurt and confused and rejected.
I miss how you use to be before you lost yourself to your addiction.
I miss being able to talk to you when I knew you were listening and cared.
Now all I get is one to three worded responses or silence.
I want to help you become less addicted but I fear that you'll resent me for it.
I feel selfish for wanting to talk to you w/o you being in ur addiction all the time.
I apologize for being selfish but you're my friend
I care about you I dont want to see you lost in addiction.
I am quietly and patiently waiting for you to return to the person that I had thought cared about me.
Even if it tears me apart I'll wait and always remain your friend.
Please tell me what you think

I think at times even the most addicted would love to have help and a friend to care for them but at the time they dont truly remember their friends all they think about is their addiction. I think this is a beautiful poem it so reminds me of a friend that my husband and I lost two years ago and we miss him so much. thank you for sharing your talent with us.
