A little poem I just wrote. I started thinking it up in my head as I tried to sleep and then got up to finish it. It took me less than a half hour total time to write it so don't laugh at me. :)
Serious subject though:
Enabling
I won't be one of the people to give you what your body craves anymore...
As much as telling you no makes my heart sore...
I will keep the lock in that door.
Because if I ever get a call saying something like you fell asleep at the wheel...
I won't be the one who knows the guilt that an enabler must feel...
Once they are partially at fault for someone they love never being able to heal.
I also won't be the one to live with the self-hatred, hun...
Of someone who helped you take the life of someone who's life has just begun.
