Friend???

We’ve been together for as long as I 
can remember 
If I was a raging fire you were that 
first ember 

You cheered me up every time I got 
depressed  
You got me through the moments that 
I felt stressed 

Every time that I needed you,  you were always there
That amazing feeling you gave me 
nothing could compare 

I had to see you multiple times just 
to get through the day
How I felt when you weren’t around is 
a feeling I can’t convey 

I’d do anything and everything just to 
spend time with you
I would sell my very soul if that’s what 
I had to do 

The help you once gave me became  
a thing of the past 
I now see clearly the dark shadow on 
my life you had cast 

Everything you made me feel turned out 
to be lies
Not a friend at all, you were the devil in disguise

I needed to find a way to keep you from coming back 
I found NA meetings is what keeps me 
on the right track 

Working the 12 step program and finding 
my higher power
Being able to kick my addiction and 
leaving you to cower
