You

As a young man you were in all the fun places I wanted to be, didn't mind how you dressed in a bottle or a glass. You had me in your embrace for days on end under your spell I lost work, love and almost my life. Years later as I pass pubs and bars, I see through your tricks cavorting with others leading them to hell. I still have dark clouds around me but none with the potential of you

Favorite line, "didn't mind how you dressed in a bottle or a glass." P. S. Add an "e" to "non." :-)
