Loving an addict

I wish you were sober.

I wish this were over.

I wish I knew why they weren't enough.

I wish I could scream.

I wish this were a dream.

I wish I knew what to do.

I wish I could look at you.

I wish I could stop playing all the shit that you said.

It's stuck in my head.

I wish I could cry.

Please don't die.

I wish this were all a lie.

Please choose them instead.

Where does your head go when it's not with them?

When all the time goes what will you do then?

When all the lies expose what will you say to them?

I wish I knew what's in your mind

I wish self-peace was something you could find.

I wish my head would stop screaming.

I feel like my heart is bleeding.

I wish you would hear my plea.

I wish you would stop deciding to flee.

I wish you could hear their yell.

I wish you could feel this hell.

I wish your mind wasn't so made up.

I wish they were enough.

Where does your mind go when it's not with them?

When all the time goes, what will you do then?

When all the lies expose, what will you say to them?
