When Your Sober and When You Drink

When your sober. 
You are fun. 
You are goofy. and dorky. 
I love you that way. 

When you drink
You are mean. 
You scare me. 
I don't know what to do when you are drunk. 
Do you do it just to have fun? 

I love it when you are Sober. 
You act a lot older. 

When you drink. 
It causes me to think. 
About who you are. 
And why you get into a car. 
And drive off to a bar.

Sad, one whole side of my family had these issues. My brothers 50 and pretty much been alcholic since he was 16, doesn't intent to change either. Lost a wife & ruined his kids lifes. Don't watch him act this way, don't stay. No good will come of staying. Light & Love Debbie Guzzi
