Sober

This is hard to say…

I don’t want you anymore

Yet, I tremble at the thought

You have been here

It seems forever

You kept every promise

You satisfied every need

I don’t want you anymore

When my world crumbled

You took hold of my hand

When I held my breath

Demanding to die

You whispered lies of hope

We danced dreams together

I don’t want you anymore

I close my eyes

And suck your bitter-sweet essence

Slowly you reduce me

You take me away

I don’t want you anymore

Tomorrow will break

And you will be gone

A fresh beginning

A Day One

I don’t want you anymore
