You rid yourself of the poison
The one that lived inside your cells
It felt like 100 years
With that one change
An entire new light
A new love for life
Your children
Your own body

I wanted to be your warrior
Your protector
The keeper of all evils
From entering your new safe realm
I laid down everything to protect
These brief few years
Of sobriety
Of happiness

I was reminded this was not my journey
For this was something for you
This road was yours to travel
I had only wanted to guide you
To keep you seeing the light
Away from the dark
I found my own darkness in your light
I took your pain and tried to make it my own

And now you are back on this path
This ***** life full of white lies
Full of anger and distrust
Who led who here?
It is easy to ask you to be stronger
It is hard to ask you to give back up
You almost rid yourself of poison
I almost rid myself of light
