Addiction

I watch him sit there
head in his hands
swearing that things are over
saying he cant take them no more

Life wants so much
but ive had enough of giving
40 years has taken all i have
now i just want one thing

your the one thing that keeps me up
darling swear to me youll always be there
please dont let this demon win
love me with all you can please dont let me down

he looks into my eyes
red, swollen with falling tears
his heart on his sleeves
his face crumples once more

Daddy you know i love you
i wont let it win i swear i never will
come to my embrace and ill do what i can
me and you together

rain falling from these sad blue eyes
i mutter again i love you
your my everything, you saved me from my demon
now ill help you defeat yours..
