For All Poem by SARAH A. STRUSZCZYK

For all the empty promises
For all the well thought lies
I sit here with my head in my hands
And whisper my goodbyes.
As hard as it is to turn away
Walk away and stand alone
I know I’ll prevail
And hope you change on your own
Believing there’s a better man
Deep within your soul
Hoping one day you’d realize
Before my heart turns cold
I need to know I’m safe in the arms of the man I love
But how can you say you love me back if drinking is all you think of?
Silently I pray
Hoping you turn well
Rid yourself of this disease
Catch yourself even though you fell
