Goodbye Letter

[kzorro]

This is a goodbye letter to cocaine and heroin that I wrote while in rehab a little over a week ago. Sure I was using in rehab and was high while I read it, but I thought I'd share anyways.

Dear Cocaine,

I remember when we met, the memory's still clear today
You flattered my ego and made me feel okay

That night you said you were leaving, for a month you'd be away
But I liked you so much I tracked you down the very next day

Friends and family warned me about letting you in
They knew we would fight and they knew you would win

Soon came the day that you became a part of my soul
When you were gone I didn't feel whole

Eventually the spark between us started to fade
I wanted you gone but you wanted to stay, and so the decision was made

To liven it up I invited a third party in
That's when we met our good friend heroin

She leveled me out when we started to crash
But together you two stole all of my cash

Then came the day you turned me against myself
You convinced me to steal from my future and health

Everybody saw it but somehow I remained blind
To the fact that you two had taken over my mind

So this is goodbye my friends, it's just not worth it anymore
I hate feeling empty and I hate being poor

My life's too important and my future's too bright
I don't know where sobriety will take me, but I know where you might

Don't get me wrong, you'll forever hold a special place in my heart
But you and I both know we're better off apart

So once again goodbye heroin and goodbye cocaine
Goodbye to misery and goodbye to pain

Sincerely,
Kevin

Thanks. I didn't think I would be able to write anything very special, but that all came to me really easily. I was/am happy with it

I like this a lot. I never thought of doing something like this.

Maybe one day when I decide to leave it all behind... I'll do one too.
