Your Rehab Appointment
He told the doctor;
I need her in my life
One way or another
To get better
And I sit beside him
Trying to grasp
Exactly what that means.
So he can get better
While I rust.
His new heroin
Heroine
That will eventually rest
On his mantle;
A priceless but dusty
Piece of memorabilia.
I need her in my life

And I sit beside him
Trying to grasp

So he can get better
While I rust.
His new heroin
Heroine
That will eventually rest
On his mantle;
A priceless but dusty
Piece of memorabilia.

Powerful! It sounds like he's using you as a crutch, Virginia. Back breaking work. It must take quite an effort to remain silent during these consultations with the doctor, who probably just sits there nodding his head in agreement, not understanding the difficulty. And then you get home to continue the rusting process. The heroin - heroine wordplay is right on. Then at the end a trophy girlfriend trying to maintain her balance on the mantle. Priceless indeed. Too bad your man doesn't seem to realize it.

"So he can get better

You captured the theme so concisely and profoundly. He needs you as his personal super heroine simply in exchange for everything else in your life. He turns you into just another dependency.
Strong imagery and a powerful write. Be strong. Taryn is right; you are worth so much, there is so much inside you that deserves to be free.

No sympathy for the drug addicts
Its a world of hurt and darkness.
Don't rust anymore
