(this is purely fictional.
ok well at least the first stanza is fictional.)

  
  my best friend's been left for dead
laying on the side of the road
with no more barking allowed
in the middle of the night
with no more begging for a
midnight snack
and once again life
seems angry at me.

  I use to take my life for granted
but now I don't care
if the coffins closed shut on me
or if the stars beg me to be forgiven
because I know I walk
the line in the middle of it all.

  lately I've been thinking
of a just cause to believe in
but the only thing that I have ever believed in
is the Alcohol itself
as it becomes a happy thought to me
I smile my only smile that
you will ever see.

  staring back at me
so deep into my Soul
my reason for a life worth living
seemed distant; almost extinguished.

  but for the most part
it's been a good life
even though I've had more
downs than ups
I just wonder if one day
I won't have to start it all over again
knowing full well
of how it will eventually end.
