Addiction (None As Blind)

As a drinker i reflect on what i have lost

The price i have paid  at such a terrible cost

My dignity my pride my marriage my health

My children my job my house my wealth

Its that part of the day again the part that i hate

My family wont be here wont even be late

I know they wont be here because of my lies

The deceit and the false truths the how’s and the whys

The years of me saying im stopping the drink

The damage ive done never stopping to think

Ive done all the rehabs on the hospital wards

The telling my children the we cant affords

Now in more ways than one im alone in the dark

Im left loveless homeless my bed is the park

And i know where will end my tale of woe

Lying face up on a cold slab With a label simply saying..........John Doe[/font][/font]
