Free at Last

Free At Last

This letter is to say "Farewell"
I loved you dearly but you caused me hell
Letting you go means loosing part of me,  maybe it's my pride
For only you could calm my fears and fill emptiness inside
When my life, my love, and my family should mean so much more
It was you, my one true friend, so many times my only cure
You've been with me so many years; through broken hearts and many tears
All the lying, all the crying-- all the years I spent trying
But it's time to set you free
Even though letting you go
Means loosing  a part of me
You played with my emotions
Anger, violence, and rage
I always felt trapped in an isolated cage
-- I'd awaken in the morning to say "Hello" to you again
Because after all, many times, you were my closest friend
I used you and abused you
Sought you and fought you
It's overwhelming to love something so wrong---
There will be no more fighting; this time I'm deciding
Saying Goodbye is what's keeping me strong
You'll always be a part of me
Only now your part of my past
Saying Goodbye... to "DRUGS" and not getting high
Means I'm finally Free At Last
