  I wished so hard this time
that it left my eyes closed;
but that didn't matter to you
even though the tears began to fall
down my face;
I embraced my only true friend
of loneliness in my arms tonight.

  and again I drank;
deep into the bottle
to try to force a smile
even though smiles forsake me now;
I turned on that Country Song that
only made me more depressed
and I guess that's ok with you
only because I heard you laughing at me
as you walked away from me into the sunsets drawn shut.

  the sun came up
and everything I wished for last night
faded into the memories that
only caused more tears to fall
into the empty bottles that helped
cure my pain into a promise of a smile
that I wish I could hold on to forever.

  sorrow fills my soul now
and close to me an Angel lingers
waiting for me to react upon an
action taken into a destiny fullfilled
of a lost, lonely life that
I wished I never had to live;
and someday maybe I can forgive you
because you never answered my prayers
and my wishes left me empty handed;
with empty bottles trying to help me forget.
