Empty Promises

The emptied bottle's contents Are swirling down the drain But when tomorrow comes She'll pay with pills and pain Her meager meal is forgotten Flushed down the greedy pipes But when tomorrow comes She'll just go on to cuts and stripes The cigarettes are gone now "Im gonna quit I swear" But when tomorrow comes Those words were never there The drugs are in the trash bin The needles thrown away But when tomorrow comes She'll play a whole new game The razors in the dumpster Awaiting tomorrow's hurt Because when tomorrow comes The promises are worth as much as dirt

Addiction is a disease, and once you fall into it, it's hard to escape. I know the challenges, and it's absolutely heartbreaking. Thank you for the share.
