I read something today that struck a chord in me. And I immediately had a response in my heart.
If you have lost someone to addiction:
Alcohol, Drugs, Food, Gambling, Or Other Destroying Addictions
You may relate.
Here is what I read:
(click on “Will You”-it is powerful and painful)
Here is what I feel:
___________________________________________________________________________
No I won’t hate you.
And I will not dispose of you.
I won’t lose you.
I won’t abuse you.
I can’t.
You don’t give me that choice.
_
You do it.
Every day.
You use.
_
Your promise to me meant nothing.
Because you wouldn’t promise your self.
_
I value you.
Where you see no value.
_
I won’t hate you.
But I hate what you do.
I won’t dismiss you.
But you long ago left me.
_
I won’t help you kill yourself.
But you are killing me with you.
_
Yes I will.
I will love you.
I will keep you.
I will mourn you.
As I have every day.
Since you chose
A substance
Over love.
Over family.
Over life.
Over you.
Even though you choose to not stop.
I do not choose to stop loving you.
No I do not hate you.
But a little part of me
Hates me
Every day.
Because I can’t stop you from using.
