Life with an Addict

remember me

Remember me
As we laughed and danced as babes
Carefree and innocent
And always on the go

Remember me
As time grew into years
Forming precious friendships
That never should be crushed

Remember me
As I caught my first fish
Or first fell of my bike
Living for the simple things

Remember me
As we watched our children play
Think about the days I took them
To places with my own

Remember me
Before evil came to knock
Before addiction took me
To a place that I don't know

Remember me
for the milestones that we shared
Forget mistakes that made me
A stranger in disguise

Remember me
Not as I was ill and distant
But as the soul of one who loved you
One too weak to come back home
