You don't know what your losing
I see it loud and clear
He's sad you didn't come to see him
And cheer for him to win
One family was there
Yours was loudly missing
Excuses
It's no one's fault was what he said
The cuddles, hugs and kisses were very hard to bear
Your pushing him away and don't even see it
But you're losing him because you couldn't take the time.  
When you wake up in the future
He tells you he won't be there.  
There will be only yourself to blame
I am sure I will be the evil that drove him away
He will know the truth
You love the drugs and you more.
Your losing him
Addiction is a word we use to describe a person
Can't stop drinking
Thinking
Doing dope
A group that hasn't learned to cope.

This addict loves to dish out hope.  
Dragging people along the way
They love and care for people who have no interest
In the hope they dish and only wish to serve.
The addiction wins again and again until more fall away.  
Ever hoping, praying, coping with where they went astray.  
Addiction is a word that loves to dish out hope.
Can you handle my dark days?  
Anger and disappointment
fear and disparaging remarks.  
Loss of control and confidence gone.  

My passions run deep and hot,
My sadness runs cold
My need for control is not timid
My darkest hours are deep and black

Can you see the darkness?
Help the light back in?
I breathe every morning so I can rise and shine.  
I am pretty sure I am dying
Breathing all the while.  
How can no one see the monster that you are?
How can you live and never make a change?
I see this girl you're with and it all looks the same.  

I am no longer dying but I still breathe through pain.
I yell and cuss and call you what you are.  
Losing my breath as I do
Others do everything for you
you call yourself a man.  

Breath requires work and a bit of I can.
Strength requires breath
I breathe every morning so I can rise and shine.
I crave a 90’s love
Spotify playlists
Shared for understanding
Walking looks in the hall
Eyes locking across the room
Wondering if you think it too
Friends before
Lovers maybe
90’s love outside a boombox
Crushing hugs you feel for days
Winks and smiles that make you giggle
No shame in the game
90’s love is quiet
Secret
New
I crave a 90’s love
Behind the scenes.
No photos of me
It's a lonely place at times
Behind the scenes you can still see

My life shines bright in those I love
My friends see me behind the scenes
Alone is an unanswered call
It's the silence of a home that has gone from five to one
Alone is the tears no one sees
It's the scream that never comes out

Alone is the pain of always being the rock for others
but finding none when you need the same
It's the constant stillness of a body that can't stop going
It's being disappointed with yourself
because there is no one to discuss ideas or thoughts.

Alone is the word everyone hates and few understand.
