Notes About The Poem
This isn't a favorite of mine but I believe the message is real and valid. I've been through this before and come out the other side, addiction is slow suicide. 6 years clean and no relapse! I give credit to my God and my family support. (With the music and melody added, this isn't a terrible song lol)

What You Said

What you said

Vs1
My hands are shaking
I light another cigarette
My heart is breaking
I wish i could forget

What you said to me
What you did to me
What you mean to me
Oh oh what you mean to me

Vs2
My eyes are heavy
I pour another drink
My stomach churning
I just don't wanna think

What you said to me
What you did to me
What you mean to me
Oh oh what you mean to me

Vs3
My head is aching
I pick up the phone
My body shaken
I can't be alone after

Whatyou saidto me
What you did to me
I don't know what it means
I don't know what it means

Bridge
Trading one addiction for five more
I just don't wanna cry
I'm falling down to the floor
That's when i decide
I don't want to die

Vs4
Self medication
No it will not be the cure
Heart palpitations
I just have to endure

What you said to me
What you did to me
What you mean to me
How could you just leave
How could you just leave

I'm sorry to read you've battled addictions. Besides a few years of smoking can't say I can identify, but I can empathize. I have a close relative that struggles so I've seen it close up. Hang in there Crystol. See my poem Ludicrous Lucidity

I'm glad to hear you haven't had this struggle. Thank you for your kind words! Mine is an all too common story now... injury, prescription pain meds, throw in a devastating life event, addiction, recovery. I'm so grateful to be past that part of my life! I'll check out your poem thanks again!

A sad song, always so painful when people leave when we want and need the around.. I wonder if you sing also? A lady of many talents...

I play ukulele and I'm a mediocre singer, but I love to sing so that's good enough for me.;) Appreciate the visit from you! Till next time
