Witches Brew

With your eyes full of hate As venom drips from your fangs, Your pores oozing contempt While anger courses through your veins A putrid cloud of malevolence Surrounds your black heart, While animosity and revenge Rips your sanity apart Your mind has been poisoned And your spirit subverted, By the slow death of your soul Which you could have averted You chose to consume The evil and hate, Eating every rancid morsel Served to you on that plate Your wash it all down With that liquid you hold dear, As you continue to drown In your own misery and fear This sickness has destroyed Everything you held true, You've traded your life For that foul devils brew. Unable to see Past the darkness and lies, Even deaf now to hear Your soul’s pleadings and cries Unsuccessfully you try To wash it away, As you drink from that bottle Day after day I pray for your soul And the torment you face, But the truth about yourself Alcohol can never erase.
