Long Lost Friend
I thought the lonliness
Would never end,
But here you are...
My long lost friend.
You give me a voice
And make me feel alive,
But if I fall into your trap
I know that I won't survive.
You awaken the fury
Deep inside of me.
As you rot my body and mind,
I'm amazed at what I see:
This single bottle
Has given me hope,
Given me a high
Much better than dope.
What's this, my friend?
Are you pulling me down?
Let me have one more drink
Before I begin to drown.
The bottle that used to
Help me fly
Is empty now..
So let me die.
