my dearest friend
I was just 16 when we met
you invited me in with open arms
unlike the others who caused all my scars

so thrilling you were!
together we could do anything!
high school year went by like a blur
I was your queen, and you were my king

as well as saying goodbye to solitude
confidence you helped me gain
I was freed from all people who were so rude
you erased all the pain

friendship many years after
though sometimes parting ways
when I was down, you'd pop up and show me laughter

as the years past by
a subtle change in you I did notice
you made more decisions than I
more, and more, I was kept in your focus

before I knew it, I couldn't be without you
my will power was taken from under my feet
friendship proved not to be true
sometimes I regret the day we did meet

damaged my soul will stay
as today I still sit, held by you
hard I try to keep your control at bay
as I weakenend, your strength grew

I don't know how long it will be
over and over battles by you are won
I do wish one-day to be free
years and years of damage yet to be undone

This is not the end
someday, my soul will see redemption
till next time my friend,
Addiction.
