While You Linger-Addict's Plight

 I hear the stories of your fate; 

the worst that one must bare

and still you linger in the dark

for hell to hold you there.


We've chased you over these few years;

we won't give up the fight

But somehow, even though we pray,

Free will  must be your plight.


You know we try to reach you, still,

but efforts are in vain

Our reach is just not long enough-

Our broken hearts remain.


I've no idea what you see

when your reflection peers at you.

I've no idea what you feel

or the hurt that you subdue.


I do know, and you won't believe,

that NOTHING you can do,

will ever change the love we have

or how we look at you.


You've only to agree to fight 

and we'll fight by your side.

You're stronger than you realize 

you do not have to hide!


For all this life has thrown at you

you fail to see the good

We'd fight it all and die for you

if only that we could!


There is no shame in falling, child,

we all have fallen prey.

You'll find the strength in God and us,

if you simply turn away.


But just for now, until you do,

please let us know you're there.

All we desire is to know you're fine

and we'll keep you in prayer.
