I wanted to believe

that recovery was real

That it was possible to awake

from this broken heart

People promised me

a light at the end of the tunnel

A grasp of it.. slipping away from

my fingertips

It's the way the pain wounded me so...

They used to say don't cry...

it's all I could do

I'm sorry you died

A greater power took you away

To make all things right

somewhere else

Look in my eyes

See me as a prisoner inside

I looked in the mirror

Became a vampire overnight

So scared to be sober,

even more when all control is lost

Reality hit

Took all the air out of me

Struggling to get back

what I threw away

If there is such a thing

when a heart shatters so swiftly...

could the pieces slowly come together

to make it whole again? ...

If so,

I'd wait for time slowly to go by...

for me to be normal again.
