Come Home, Rebecca

We love you.

The night calls your name,

And you can't resist,

Vodka and crack,

You know you are better than this,

You take a big swig,

You take a big hit,

Momentarily,

You can forget,

The wreckage of life,

That you have created,

It's too hard to face,

Must stay sedated,

Risking your life,

By hustlin' and stealing,

When you're in your right mind,

There is too much feelin',

Kids that still love you,

Kids that still know your name,

Waiting for you,

To give up the game,

A family broken,

By addiction and such,

Can't function without nothin',

Shit, we all need a crutch,

But it's become a life,

You didn't mean to walk away,

It just was too much,

For you to stay,

Life is too painful,

Reality bites ass,

Who cares if you die,

Without any class,

Not you.

Just your kids,

Your Sisters and Mom,

Your Dad,

Your Grandma,

And even your Johns,

We love you, Rebecca,

You can come home,

We wait for you,

We pray that you'll phone,

It's hard, yes I know,

I've been there myself,

But you are worthy of love,

You are worthy of help,

You are my baby sister,

And I'll always be here,

Even if we don't agree,

You need not fear,

The future is yours,

To change and to mold,

Don't you want to be here,

So that we can grow old?

I love you so much,

And I cry about you,

I wish I could be there,

To show you the truth,

But we all know that's not possible,

It's your choice alone,

Please choose us this time,

Please come on back home.

About the Creator

Teresa Nash

I have something to accomplish in this life... I'm still not clear on exactly WHAT that is... But I'm searching high and low for whatever I'm supposed to find...
