You Save Me

Folder: 
Mean the most to me

Wake up in the morning

Cigarette in hand

Beer bottles all empty

Late for work again.

Eight days a week

Carton of smokes all gone

See through bottles, sitting all alone.

With no one to talk to

Passed out again

Vaguely remember…. how the day began

 

 And then came you

You saved my life today

You came through

And I’m glad you came my way.

 

Sense the day we meet

I rarely drank again

Maybe on a few occasions

Cause of you I’m now… a changed and caring man.

Feeling so much better

Cherishing all the days

Remembering and making memories

And waking unafraid

 

And I owe it all to you

Cause you saved my life each day

You have taken something I was wasting

And gave me a reason to stay

Thank you Melissa Mason

I love you forever….and always.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

this story is true to each word... and even tho it may have been a short period of time it was heading to a deadly end or for that matter we will never know...thanks to Melissa Mason.  There was not a day that went by that didnt consist of a 12 pack and other things... close to 3 years lost and wasted time gone by... then came Melissa... and just like that it all came to a end... empty beer bottles everywhere and Ricky n Janet Starkweather and Alex Maxwell (Starkweather) have all seen them on any given day... I feel alot better today and love that fact that I can go out and have a few if even any at all cause I want to drive and get everyone home safe... great times...but much better future...thank you again baby for making me who I really am today...I love you <3
