Denise

You were so supportive of me to seek treatment.
Whenever I had something to get out of my heart, you let me vent.
Other times when I was too depressed, you got me off the couch.
You were the only one to get me out of that drug infested house.
I was so strong for so long, but now I feel that void of you.
I want to see you and wrap my arms around you so I won't feel so blue.
You inspired me of so much and opened my world to new things.
You never made me feel bad or like that nasty dope fiend.
I count the days till I can see you again and fill that void.
The distance between us may be far, but you're in my heart, you'll always be my boy.
I gaze up at the sky and believe you're looking up at the same time.
For I'm coming back eventually to say hi and to show you I'm better than fine.
I thank my lucky stars you intervened and showed me the way.
I just had to let you know you were the one to help me through each day.

No stem or needles for me anymore.
No need to buy any rigs or chore.
Collapsed veins were my biggest fear.
When I'm sick and shaking no need for tears.
No calls from the dope man asking, "You all good?"
For I am changing and won't be that fool.
My inside was decaying and dying inside
With nobody special to call to confide.
I have met so many special women who have changed my life.
I never want to go back to that drug infested life.
