ADDICTION HAS ITS WAY

ADDICTION HAS ITS WAY

ADDICTION HAS ITS WAY

ADDICTION HAS ITS WAY

We are in despair

Wondering why

How does this happen

Addiction

My child

Once

So close to me

And now

How?

How do you deal with this,

What is there left?

Love does not have a place

Release is all we can do

We look up

Wondering if

There could be intervention

Beyond what we believe

Sadness does not leave

Heads turned away

No contact with these eyes

No surprise

Same as yesterday

Everything

On delay

Must it forever

Be this way?

Hearts are broken

Every hour the same

Will it be this way tomorrow

What we view now?

We are on standby

Nothing left to intervene

Sadness is reoccurring

Like the tears in our eyes

We stay strong

Prepare for the call

Could anything be worse,

Then waiting for the hearse?
