I just want to come home
to you clean.

One day your the one I need,
loving and the wall that holds me up.
The next day your a disappointment,
burning me with all that you can't be.

You used to be so good to me.
To everyone.

You shut down to alcohol
and drugs.
So you hid away.

You're a presence I can barely see.
A ghost when your in front of me,
a killer of the mind when your behind your walls.

Your battle has turned the house into a war.
Every single one of us on a different side.
I've been fighting for too long now.

We are waiting for your white flags,
to surrender to your own madness.

Until then, I have to wait here until you realize.
That your supposed to fight.
For me.
For your family.
For this life.

Or I can run.
Live the life I was meant to live
instead of wasting my time waiting
for your white flags.
