In the shadows of loving an addict,
There's a pain that lingers, a sorrow that sticks.
You give and you give, until there's nothing left,
But still, it feels like you've failed the test.
You watch them spiral, unable to save,
As addiction tightens its grip, like a darkened cave.
And though you try to hold on with all your might,
In the end, you're left alone in the night.
The dreams you once had, they fade away,
Replaced by the harsh reality of day.
For love alone cannot conquer all,
And sometimes you're left with nothing but a fall.
So you say your goodbyes, with a heavy heart,
Knowing that love couldn't tear them apart.
And as you walk away, the tears may flow,
But deep down, you know it was time to let go.
