I sit here
you know
Sometimes feeling a little
Too exposed
Left raw
by the whip lash of your past
Resurfacing
Blaming me for
whatever bad is about to happen
You even had the audocity once
To crown me
your Guardian Angel
But I'm tired
I'm about to fall
from this pedastool
I'm tired of praying
for you when you go
out to get your fix
Always enebreated
by the lies you
feed your veins
I'm tired of being
your good little girl
so you can show the world
that even
Demons can redeem themselves
I'm so tired of praying
So tired of this codependent hell....



If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.

sad, bittersweet and yet brilliant...in this read you have answered the questions of co-denpendancy...no one but no one can save another...nor make them happy, if they are not already...no one is a knight in shining armor, or will save "your" soul...it is most assuridly about the understanding of singularity of self...and it is cruel to smother another like that.

To thine own self be true! ~ and that goes for him as well!

Co-dependency is an addiction in its own right. It appears to me that you have a habit to kick yourself, Dear Kristen.

You are not his keeper. He's a big boy and is responsible for his own choices in life ~ as are you! Choose wisely my friend! It would be such a waste of a beautiful, caring, talented woman such as yourself, to go down the tubes with him.

Loving, healing hugs,
Linda
