Haunted by the memories of the days gone by A family destroyed by addiction and lies Nothing left but shadows and spider webs Contact cut off by distance or by choice Illness now makes me wish we were closer Blaming myself for the time wasted between us Even though no one is to shame Things just turned out the way they did Our paths were only meant to cross for moments Please forgive me that I’m not broken over this It’s hurting me more that I’m fighting to care Understand it’s hard for me You were Never there even though I tired Cried so many tears because I didn’t understand That it had nothing to do with me Right now you’re fighting to stay alive Tears have yet to find my eyes I’m scared What happens if they never come? Is this really the end? Questions only time can tell while we wait Destroying ourselves and self medicating Ripped apart because we should have been close Family should never be the cause of pain Reasons for nightmares under clear skies You always hurt the ones you love Only because they care....... Tonight.....I think I care....
