Another Day

You saw me drinking, and it made you cry.
You felt the guilt from when you left my side.  
I turned to drug abuse and alcohol.  
I need you to know that this is not your fault.  
No longer the man with which you fell in love.  
They say time heals all wounds, but it was not enough.  
I needed something else to numb the pain.  
Just to make it through another day.  
  
Numb the pain for another day.  
It's too late, I cannot be saved.
   
I see that you're thriving since we fell apart.  
I know that you hide from me your broken heart.  
Your girl friends have told me that you're not okay.  
That you talk about me almost everyday.  
Like how you can't sleep at night without my sounds.  
They plead me to save you and come back around.  
Then why did we even go our separate ways?  
What was the point of it in the first place?  
   
Numb the pain for another day.  
I can't save you, it's far too late.

Author's Note
This was written as a song, but I can't sing to save my life. So I present it as a written poem :)
