She Drank To Forget
She drank to forget
She drank to numb the pain
She drank hoping to get drunk every day
It was the way for her to cope
She believed she had no hope
And when intoxicated
She sleep with any man
Who offered her a drink or two
She knew that love was not due
They simply wanted her body
So they could screw
It meant nothing to them
And even less to her
She was drunk most of the time
And had lost hope through and through
She used them for the alcohol
Gave them her body and her dead heart and soul
Emotionless and tired she just lay there
For them to do just what they wished
Often passed out after they finished
But she was known to do this while they were still going
This is a tale of hurt, pain and damage
So don't judge her too harshly damn it
Unless you've walked a mile in her shoes
She is one of life's lost victims
And now can't cope with anything
It's sad to see but that's the simple truth
She did not know what else she was supposed to do.
