You were my lifeline
My tie-in to the world
All I needed to see you
Was a turnacate and eye
You brought me pain and sorrow
You helped me close my mind
I still long for you in silence
Three years clean
That's all for my son
He deserves a mother
Like the one I never had
Some day you might get me back
But for now I will just wish
I could feel you in my vein
But for now I will not cave
Herione, My Son

I can't even begin to tell you how much this hit me. When I got pregnant with my daughter I was doing a lot of meth and when that little strip changed colour... my whole world changed. I wanted to be a good mother, so I quit. It's been 2 years now, and the craving never really does get easier, does it? So we hold on and hope.
