Here with me
But parts of you are
Fading away
I try my hardest
To be strong
I fight my tears knowing
In time more
Of you will fade away
I stand strong for you
But inside I feel weak
Each memory is precious
For so long I have
Leaned on you
Now I must be your rock
I cry when you don’t see
I confide in friends
I find support where I can
I practice self-care
I returned to therapy
As parts of you fade away
I will fight to
Stay in the light
Nurturing myself
Leaning on broad shoulders
Helps me stay in
the light of recovery
