Taking It Seriously

You Know
I take it seriously
the pain 
you feel
through addiction
that bears your soul

It is a vice
no different
than the many
that I hold

You know 
I take you
seriously
I take your
partner seriously as
you both hold
a special place
in my heart

You and his 
friendship to
us 
is pure as
gold
and as precious
as silver

we take you 
seriously
