Chocolate Graham Crackers

I thought I was drowning

Who was there to save me?

I'd sit and stare but the walls only echoed the loneliness I felt there

Even in the cold bitter air of October I still felt like I couldn't breathe

Like I was suffocating

Empty, alone

But you knew that feeling too

And you helped me adjust to all the things new 

Now I am eternally grateful

As I sit back and smile and understand that some things take a while

Thank you for holding me when I felt like I could no longer hold myself

Thank you for loving me when I felt like love was the last thing I deserved

Thank you for telling me that eventually everything is gonna be okay

And I know that now as I sit here today

I'm getting everything together just like you said I would

No more drugs, they wreak havoc on the body's ability to do good

And now I know that as time flys so do we

We think we're stuck in a never-ending cycle of time

But I swear your pain will end some time

Maybe not sooner rather than later

And I still had a few bumps in the road

Well, I could write forever but I will choose to close

Thank you for those chocolate graham crackers

The ones shaped like cats

Thank you for sitting with me as I screamed and I cried

And now you're the one I think about when they ask who helped me the most
