Romeos Junkie Juliette
Who could love a junkie
Except for me when I was young and blind?
Who could find beauty in this ugly shell
Except for someone who's got no better options?
My life is nothing but paper scattered in the wind
Don't chase it baby
It could ruin you
Just like loving an addict
Ruined me.
Where am I?
I don't think I'm in my body anymore.
Someone hold me please.
I'm lying awake thinking about suicide
Except for me when I was young and blind?
Who could find beauty in this ugly shell
Except for someone who's got no better options?
My life is nothing but paper scattered in the wind
Don't chase it baby
It could ruin you
Just like loving an addict
Ruined me.
Where am I?
I don't think I'm in my body anymore.
Someone hold me please.
I'm lying awake thinking about suicide

Addiction is paus for cause, but where is it written that an addict can't love. There are addicts that love better than religious heads, millionaires, or what have you, they are just ill. Tight

In a lot of ways, the addict couples I know have a stronger bond than many "normal" ones. I mean it takes a lot of forgiveness and grace to deal with each other's absolute worst and still want to do life with them. I miss the closeness of those days sometimes.
But I have children and they deserve the best of me.

You fight to get better and make new good memories. You are brave and strong person foe sharing. Keep on writing.
