Where are you now?


You kept it real 
You told no lies,
Sometimes the truth may come as a surprise
 
 
You told me I needed help
 I didn’t believe you,
 And now that the pain medicines gone 
 I'm starting to need you
 
 
You answered questions 
I never asked,
You helped me understand my past
 
 
I thank you for being there for holding my hand
For keeping me sane, 
And helping me stand
 
 
And now that you gone 
I see that you were right 
Because the addiction has became unbearable to fight
