Addiction,None As Blind

As a drinker i reflect on what i have lost The price i have paid at such a terrible cost My dignity my pride my marriage my health My children my job my house my wealth Its that part of the day again the part that i hate My family wont be here wont even be late I know they wont be here because of my lies The deceit and the false truths the how’s and the whys The years of me saying im stopping the drink The damage ive done never stopping to think Ive done all the rehabs on the hospital wards The telling my children the we cant affords Now in more ways than one im alone in the dark Im left loveless homeless my bed is the park And i know where will end my tale of woe Lying face up on a cold slab With a label simply saying John Doe
