I Wish You'd Quit Drinking

When I think about you drinking alcohol,

I start to feel disgust.

Your absent-mindedness

makes all my feelings feel so just.

When you took alcohol from random men

and excused it—

it caused me distrust.



Seeing you wasted that time

really messed up all of my brain.

It makes me relive those moments—

and all I feel is pain.

When you got a ride from a man I don’t know,

it gave me disdain.



I want to be trusting,

but all that’s stuck inside my head.

I try to communicate,

and you argue what’s been said.

Now I’m not so comfortable

when you go drink at other places.

I’ve tried to speak it clearly,

but you don’t see the problem that it faces.

You’ve got you looking available,

and people trip over their laces.



You get so wasted

that you don’t know what you’re doing.

When you go out without me,

I’m scared you’ll do something unapproving.

You hang out with a bad influence—

and it leaves me disapproving.



I love you so much,

but it makes me feel disregarded.

It makes me so worried—

and my feelings are unguarded.
