Me Myself and I

It’s no secret, what the bottle, has cost me, in this world I’m living in
It’s taken quite a toll on my body, my family and friends 
I’ve welcomed many goodbyes but there’s one love that will haunt me till the end
I’ve tried to justify my alibis but the blame lies...
On me myself and I

Me myself and I
I’m not surprised and I’ll admit it
The downside to this high life is the fact
The fact that I can’t quit it

I’ll do the same damn thing tomorrow 
Cause sorrows way tougher than this guy
I can’t blame this pain on anyone except
Me myself and I

On the inside, of this shell, are the remnants, of a soul that needs set free
Once full of life fueled by hope until my demons came to be
They filled the void with regret and I can’t cope with it for all eternity 
And when I’m answering for my sins, I can’t deny
It was me myself and I

Me myself and I
I’m not surprised and I’ll admit it
The downside to this high life is the fact
The fact that I can’t quit it

I’ll do the same damn thing tomorrow 
Cause sorrows way tougher than this guy
I can’t blame this pain on anyone except
Me myself and I

We’re one in the same
Same name, just a loser in this game
If I don’t repent guess I’ll have to get...accustomed to the flames

It’s been a long hard ride
And I can’t forgive 
Me, myself, and I...

Very affecting write! I have no wise words or anything noble to say... Addiction just plain sucks. It's a topic that takes up way too much real estate in my own brain, in love with a raging alcoholic. Just decided today to give up hope. My heart goes out to you. Brave ink, thank you for the share. xomo
