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....
