12 Little Words

As you walked out the door
You turned to me and said
“You’ll never make it all alone
You’ll never make it without me”

Now on my worse days and when they are so bad
When I am down in spirit and so very sad
I remember your worlds and I am so glad
The best motivational speech ever given

Twelve words of intense retaliation
Meant to hurt and cause humiliation
But like from the ashes the phoenix rose
A path unknown to me I simply chose

It is said, “We reap what we sow”
Truer words were never written
Cause you are back in Rehab
Sure wish you’d left me sooner

But “Better later than never
Better later than never”

Every night I say the same prayer of thanksgiving
“Thank you for those twelve little words”
Just twelve little words
That set me free
“You’ll never make it all alone
You’ll never make it without me”

Boy, you were so wrong
