So Many You's

Now you’re gone, She had the strength to let go… A smile . Behind the face . Yet emptiness “n” hurt too Peace at last . Yet so lonely . She missed the real you . He’s long gone , destroyed with the bottle. It wasn’t all bad, This she knew . Lost in the bottle… It was hard to accept, Lonely too… All the different You’s ,It was so strange… She knew it wasn’t you . It was beyond your control.. The scars from your own abuse . Alone The bruises. The Beatings the emptiness too Lost childhood, Identity gone (you went to war – Came back a different you) A lost love broke you too, Then you hid in a bottle. And lost the true you, it hid your pain and sorrow, Just lost to a bottle… The person you became . Wasn’t you this she knew The bottle first . Nothing else . How it hurt her, Just lost in a bottle, She watched you change, Knew it wasn’t you . Didn’t mean She didn’t love you. Or didn’t care … She just couldn’t see it through, She lost the true you… She watched you . Destroy you . Lost in a bottle And couldn’t watch . Or take no more. Cause she loved and lost you to a bottle.
