Me Too

You have no concept of shame You apologize for fun Because that is what is expected to be done Embarrassed you are not You leave a message after the dot Shaking at the start of every other day It's not what you say Its just the beginning of another day Is not you is the excuse set on default What's the point But I am starting to question My own sobriety and mental state I think it's going to be me rather than you First to fall Because I am living this for us both And I am struggling to cope But you can't see what this is doing to me Because to you this is normal But it is only me stuck in the present What am I to do Its my cross to bear You are to out of it to care Its not fair But I am your surviving heir Next of kin on the contact form To an Addict born But the future is torn Between what is best Not for you But for me And I can't see the glass for the bottles Or an end to ways Or better days Without urine on the stair's And wake smoke drink pass out On the living room couch And you spitting into a glass But this is today Same as yesterday And tomorrow Hell of a way to live But nothing gives In the house where the bottle lives Me 2 Me 2
