Oxygen
I walk the streets
Through a misting rain
On my way
To get lost again
The clouds keep pushing down
Till I'm halfway in the ground
It won't be much longer
Till I'm no longer around
I tried my best for you
But my best wasn't enough
Got home from work
And you'd packed all your stuff
There were things
I just couldn't give up
I guess you thought I would
Well I did too
But this thing has become a part of me
Like the oxygen I breathe
Just cut your losses
And let me be
Through a misting rain
On my way
To get lost again
The clouds keep pushing down
Till I'm halfway in the ground
It won't be much longer
Till I'm no longer around
I tried my best for you
But my best wasn't enough
Got home from work
And you'd packed all your stuff
There were things
I just couldn't give up
I guess you thought I would
Well I did too
But this thing has become a part of me
Like the oxygen I breathe
Just cut your losses
And let me be

Your words carry the weight of a harsh reality many of us call our own .

I feel your pain. 💔
Addiction took my family from me..
2 and half years ago.
Although recovery has stabilised and enriched my life the profound sense of loss remains 24/7..
It’s just part of me now..
Today gratitude pours out of me..
Keep writing brother.
Just for today🤍🙏
