Too Far Gone

It probably didn't occur to you
That a person could be
So far gone
That a way out
Was a completely foreign concept
Still, when you reached out
I grabbed on
People do that
When they're drowning
You helped
Brought so much more
Than a helping hand
By the time
I came up for air
And realized, thanks to you
What my life could be
I had spilled my pain
All over you
You needed to pull away
All that time
I gave you nothing back
And now
This house of cards
This complicated web
Of my own design
Mine and mine alone
To handle
Extrication
Inevitable, but complicated
Please know
Your light is why
I was able to step up
Forward momentum
At last
I will be grateful forever
Much love and light to you
