Addict

Written for my sister, she died at age 30 of alcohol poisoning.

Addict

I knew for so long and never said a word.

I was afraid

Your faith, strength and most of all, your love waivered.

I was in doubt

I wanted comfort and needed your friendship without end.

I was in vain.

Courage to speak when it was all new, I did not find.

I was in need

Your decision to give up drew near.

I was in pain

Would you be here today?

I am alone
