Given To Me, By You

Over the mountains to the debts of the sea
I’ll always feel your presence deep within me.

Your time here on Earth was all too shortly lived
But you helped others freely, gave all you had to give. 

“Together, she said, “We would stand tall.”
Alone I feel powerless, weak, and small.

The sorrow hits in pains I’ll never comprehend.
I’ll never see your smile, your laugh, you here on Earth again.

When times come to worry and I feel out of breath
I’ll miss your mind, as our memories are meshed.

How did you survive all you went through?
I pray for half the strength I saw in you.

But its times like these I begin to understand,
You’ll never abandon me, never let go of my hand.

I look around me today and so many things remind me of you.
There’re still painful to look at today,
But they are blessings given to me by you.

Alcoholic Cycle

I’ve rationalized my way to that point again. 
There seemed to be a good reason to start (using), 
And a reason to follow it up, for just a couple days.
“Get it out of my system.”  I may say.
I’ll think of some way or another of writing it off when I need to. 
But by the final time I am reaching for it, I know the reason I began made no real sense at all.

To Clear My Conscious

I’ve found myself engulfed in a web of lies, 
cheats, 
half-truths,
shifty eyes,
and emptiness.
All I want is it to go away.
But for that to happen,
Someone else must become involved.
For me to clear my conscious, 
And begin to attempt recovery again, 
I have to break everyone else’s hopes and dreams.
I have to admit that I’ve hurt others again.

Craving Recovery

I long for, Hope, Seek and Crave
 
My spot in the sunlight;
 
The light upon my face.
 
 
 
 
I avoid my pitfalls, the using,
 
Submission into what I crave.
 
I feel weak inside,
 
But I know it is now; I must be brave.
 
 
 
 
I sense it all around me,
 
No matter how far I try to escape;
 
That using with freedom and happiness
 
Is a luxury I no longer can create.
 
 
 
 
To drink, to use, would surrender my soul.
 
But today I find myself surrounded
 
With support, strength and hope.
 
 
 
 
I have a sort of strength inside me;
 
Guiding me from within.
 
I look to the future with uncertainty
 
But today I simply must begin.
