ignoring the pieces of my heart

laying shattered on the floor

Numb with loss

What happened,

Why did you die?

Throwing your life away

For a bottle of booze

Just when I think

That you're on the mend

You start drinking

And the cycle starts again

Now the cycle is broken

But I lost a friend

As the tears start falling

Soundless with pain

You gambled with your life

We all tried to help you

Speaking those bitter words

That rang with loving truth

Now your dead

I still cry in silence

Even though I always knew

You would die alone with the bottle
