Question by : Opinions on this poem/song? (Love & Recovery)?
Background info: wrote this about 2 years ago it’s about a relationship with the guy dealing with drugs and alcohol and the girl struggling with an eating disorder. The girl yearned to help him; however, could not fight her own disorder and problems.

Love and Recovery..

Unstable and apathetic,
thats how I now view you.
In your sense of being healthy,
do you even know what you’re feeling?
I know you need your time to find the emotion you once lost,
because the bottom of the bottle isnt the only source of an escape.
While you were fixing yourself I was breaking apart
ever so slowly we drift from the perfection I craved.

Maybe it was my state of mind
that was different than yours.
We both saw so much in each other.
I could see the world in your eyes
and believed that you could go your farthest
I wanted to help you
and I wanted to give you my world
but I knew the only thing I could do was to be your girl.

I saw you at your worst,
when the the anger got the best of you
I’m sorry I didn’t leave when you told me to
you placed my fingers on your cheek and said “this is how it feels “I felt myself catching tears and with my soaked my fingerprints
our two worlds collided I thought to myself, “why can’t you feel this when your sober?”
I sat by you as you told me your dreams,
the ones you said haunted your sleep
you pointed out all of my insecurities
and said you were scared for me..
I said so am I.

Damaged and addicted,
two souls trapped
underneath a blanket.
We hid from our fears
you got sick of hiding
and left me alone… suffocating.

I understand your reasoning for letting me go
I know you have your problems and you have to mend yourself
well so do I..
I just wish we could have stood together through the healing process.

I know we are opposites
but what we have in common is beautiful.
I just wish you could see that…

I gotta get you out of my head,
this time I gotta try to help myself.

I’d love to be able to see these 2 people as human beings and not abstract caricatures; how would you shoe them at their worst? Damaged and addicted? How would you make me see them?
