Free At Last
This letter is to say farewell--
I loved you dearly but you put me through hell
Letting go of you is like loosing a part of myself, maybe it's my pride
Only you could calm my fears and fill the emptiness inside
When the truth, my love, even my family should mean so much more-
You, my friend, so many times were the only cure
I've dealt with you so many years...
Through broken hearts and many tears-
The lying, the crying, the years I spent trying....
It's time to set you free
But I know, that letting you go means loosing a part of me
You caused me to feel many emotions-
Thoughts of anger, violence, and rage
Maybe that explains why I felt trapped in an isolated cage
I'd awaken in the morning to say "Hello" to you again
Because, after all, many times... you were my closest friend
I used you and I abused you
I sought you and I fought you
It's so overwhelming to love something so wrong--
There will be no more fighting
This time I'm deciding
Cause "Good-Bye" is what's keeping me strong
You will always be a part of me
Only now your a part of my past
...So Good-Bye Drugs.... My ole friend
I'm finally free at last..........
