Road to Recovery

I was looking for love in all the wrong places,
Down dark alleys and in the deepest, darkest
Parts of my fragile soul while losing all traces
Of who I want to be. In my vulnerable, starkest
Moments I was completely alone and begging
For someone to love me but had no right to be
Loving me for who I am now. He was pegging
Me as someone beautiful but was also lost. We
Both used to be searching for the same things
In life like complete freedom and feeling like
We belong, but he has already found his wings.
Along his road he has located his lucky strike
Of lightning while I am still walking this road
To recovery and healing myself. I am kicking
My bad habits to make room for a lighter load.
It is when someone stops scratching or picking
At old scars and wounds to heal. I am just only
Human and so is he. I hope I am able to forgive
Him so we can move on. My heart, less lonely
Than it was before will be revived and live
On again. I am on my own journey, path and
Road to recovery nobody has to understand.
