Therapeutic Value

by Gazzelle


(...the therapeutic value of one addict helping another is with out parallel)

Take me to the place you go to

When you’re all alone

That place where tears fall down like rain

That place where grief is sown

I see in your eyes that you’ve been to

That place I, too, have known

That place where fearing fails to fade

And sadness is the throne



A song, a scent, a secret smile

Is sometimes all it takes

To bring us each back to that place

Of poorly-healed heartbreaks

That place that won’t let us forget

The price of our mistakes

Where lonely pictures cling to walls

Of long-remembered aches



Take me with you as you mourn

for tomorrows now betrayed

Help me! As I cannot alone

Destroy the barricade

The audience must be released

Before the final act is played

So take me with you to the place you hate

I’m not afraid
