CODEPENDENCY


CODEPENDENCY
His sickness takes and takes
from this nightmare I must awake.
 
My focus has drifted unfortunately
I always watch him and forget about me.
 
I feel his anger,
I digest his pain,
as I watch my life becomes more insane.
 
My past and my future all seem a blur,
living with this demanding addiction
which I can not deter.
 
I love him, I hate him.
I wish I could save him.
 
But I tell myself, you see, the only one
that can save him is recovery,
 
not ME.

    You packed a lot of emotion into this poem. You highlighted the struggle of being with this person very well. The graphic at the top was a great opener.
