No Friend
I found in you the mother I
never had.
You were the only one there
when I lost my dad.
Always there when I needed
you.
Not far when I wanted you too.
It was from you that I got
courage when I had none.
It was you who pushed back
my tears and let me have fun.
Twenty four seven you were
with me.
Happy or sad you just let me
be.
But in reality, you were really
no friend.
And I face six years of running,
it's got to end.
I must push you out and far, far
away.
I can no longer rely on you~not
even one more day.
Back to the light, the real world
I walk.
All the years of avoided
emotions to deal with in bulk.
You're not my family! You're
the enemy! No friend!
You took six years and all it
contained without amend!
You were all consuming~the
loyalist I've ever seen.
But go far away, get out of me!
METHAMPHETAMINE!
