I posted this poem I wrote to my A over a year ago. There are so many new members and I see alot of posts about detaching I wanted to post it again, to share with you all. Prayers and Hugs, Kim
Each and every day,
it gets easier,
to go away........
To never look back,
just to turn and walk away.......
The days turn into nights,
and the nights turn into days...............
As I sit here,
and pray.............
I pray for your strength,
to live each and everyday,
to live your life,
in a powerful way............
I pray that,
when you come upon a fork in the road,
you will choose the right turn,
and stay away from what you know so well.............
As I sit and wonder,
about our future everyday,
I see no different,
than I see us today..........
As I slowly learn to live with this,
and to continue on,
and how to give myself happiness,
so I can finally move on...........
Oh yes,
there will be sad times,
and many happy, too.
I just can not sit here anymore, watching,
while you destroy you...................
Our times together,
have been growing shorter and shorter.
and the anger that I sometimes feel,
has decreased to occasionally..................
But I do know for sure,
that I can not deal with your addiction daily..........
"When you come to the edge of all you know you must believe in one of two things... there will be earth on which to stand or you will be given wings." ~Unknown
Hmmm, that poem does ring a bell...... It is beautiful, straight from your heart. One wonders how an A can read it and NOT want to seek help. Thanks for the reminder today. I needed that. Love in Recovery, Becky1
