Reward

I pray to God
Most every night
To give me strength
So I can fight.
I pray to God
To help me see
There's still someone out there
Left for me.
I know I must
Have faith to stand
And not be crushed.
Faith to know healing can't be rushed.
The reward will be grand.

But I can't stop.
All the riches in the world
Couldn't get me
To stop loving this girl
It won't end,
Neither will my pain,
Even though all my worry
Is still in vain.
She's too close to perfect.
She keeps my eye and my guard
On her and not my reward.

My heart is strong
But my will is weak.
It's been too long
For me to seek.
For another person
I could call my own,
To lift me up
And carry me home.
But another love
Would just break my heart,
Making it too attached
For a new love to start.
Maybe, when all is said and done.
There is no reward but a stronger heart
A heart that is more loving.
And harder it will hold on.

Those who live by the sword, get shot by those who don't.

Now this one is excellent, same feel as "End" but no parts seemed really forced. In fact, I like this a lot. And the rhyming works for it. I'm beginning to really like your work, nice job!

The first step to recovery is to admit your addiction. So, here it is:
