We've Got to Get Better...
By agentlemenspromise
When your pills loose their effect ill be there for your withdrawal
Even if you nearly ODed again
Ill hold your shaking hands
And deal with your mood swings
Id sit with you on the nights you can’t sleep
And hold you closer when you’re crying
...Before you relapse you’ll realize that someone who loves you
is too overwhelming...
You’d find yourself too content with affection
And too nervous when I look into those pain strickenly beautiful eyes
The only thing you can think to do is to push me away again
...But I don’t find it comforting to find the only person who means
anything to me on the bathroom floor again...
So id hold your shaking body in tears
And pray for you to throw up the aspirin
Because if you died id want to go with you
I just need you to wake up again
I just need you to want to live again
I need you as much as you needed me
...Just start breathing again please....

...development. I used to say,"If you take care of me, I will take care of you." Now I say,"I will take care of me for you, if you will take care of you for me." Heart wrenching, Sounds hardly fair.

Oh my god.. this hit me so, so hard.. brought tears my eyes too. It's very hard to cope with the fact that you can only do so such for a person and still be strong for them..

This just brought back so many memories...sickening ones...that I tried to throw away...but they're there for a reason...and I can't...thank you for this. Evocative, poignant write. This would break my heart, were it not already in pieces.
