  I didn't want to
drive home tonight
just for the reason that
I am an alcoholic who drank
too much today.

  even when the bottle was gone
I still heard the song playing;
singing those beautiful words
of affection for me
that my Angels would leave me
in a bliss of a Euphoria that
left me a kiss away from
a happy heart.

  nothing bled from the wounds
that inflicted me so much
that only caused the Whiskey to
take control of a soul
that only tried to smile
at all of the laughter spoken
into the heart ache of a pain that
cried into the Country Song that
fell into a hopelessness
full of useless words.

  living the dream alone
as my thoughts cause my heart
to fold into a picture of a stone
that closed itself off
away from this world of loneliness
but even though I dreamed alone
into the night
my prayers were never answered;
my prayers were never heard.


  ignored is a better word
to use I think
as all I hear is laughing
smiling down on me
without even a tear as to why
I was born to live and let die
this life of
an alcoholic's cry of Salvation
begging you to set me free.
