Desperate screams piercing the night

The stench of vomit and urine filling the room

Childrens peacful dreams of castles in the sky

Now tainted with the sounds or your horrid cries

covering their eyes trying to put it out of mind out of sight

 

"Mommy whats wrong with daddy?"

"He's fine, just sick, now go back to bed".

 

Forcing your family to live a lie

You weren't fine. You weren't alright

You ignored your family's desperate pleas

Long ago when it was just a habit

Always thinking you could stop if you wanted

Now they are victims of your filthy addictions

 

years later...

 

Still in denial, we all saw you with blind eyes

Or maybe we just came to accept that this is what you'd become

A user, a thief, a druggy, a junkie

Anything for your precious wants that you thought were needs.

 

The doctor said you only had a few months to live.

You died two nights ago.

What you had fed your body

finally ate away at you.

You fought in the very end... it conquered

Too little too late.

I feel bad that I don't feel bad, I still haven't shed a tear

Deep down I knew it was coming all along

I never knew you. I only knew what you let yourself succumb to.

I now understand what it is like to be you...

Numb. No remorse.

Please understand

Forgive me...
