Addiction
The demons have pulled you in again
you’ve been cast back into the shadows,
I thought it was over and done
that you were back again, that you were you.
I was wrong
The old you is back
the old you was still corrupted, this is you
I can’t wish for you to change
because those kinds of wishes don’t come true
I want to fix you and help you,
But you filled me with so much dread
but please— I want you back
the old you
—the you I loved
