Not Far From Sober

I will be sober
Two days from today
If only not
For that bottle of HATE
Sipped it so quickly
And there went my chore
Sipped too quickly to realize
I could have so much more
Travling down this path
Oh love, please come my way
But no
I sipped again
From a bottle of PAIN
And there went my Life-long lore
Only to realize
I could have some more
Dying inside
Just a little each day
I broke out this bottle...
a bottle of DECAY
I took a sip
Anquish has plans
To wash upon my shore
Only to realize
I could have some more
I made friends with my friend's dusty grave
He had not much to say
So I spoke to the grave stone
I shared with it a bottle of SIN
And made sure
To wipe away that dribble from my chin
My soul so sore
But I will have some more
No goals are set
I live to sit in societies wrath
I took a sip of REGRET
And there rotted my core
Only to realize
I could have no more.
