Bourbon Heartbreak

I cannot expect anything of you,

We are no longer one in soul

But until you starting loving yourself more…

I’m sorry. I have to let you go.

I can be just friends –

It’s nothing to do with that.

It’s more the fact that you’re going to drink…

Until your liver is black.

I love you too much to sit and watch,

So it seems all abusive for you –

You see, I was not controlling but rather

Wouldn’t deal with the alcohol abuse.

I cannot sit by,

Watching you drink until dry.

Without an attempt or try

I cannot allow you to just die.

So, I apologize if this was controlling..

I only wanted you to heal.

I couldn’t sit back and watch it…

So I had to make it a big deal.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen you,

Seems like you’re slowly killing yourself without a care.

Making me the bad guy in all of this…

So that’s just not really fair.

I am good being friends,

But please know this from the start:

I can’t keep watching you kill yourself with the alcohol…

Because it’s breaking my heart.

So while you sit back..

And drink for your own sake.

I’m going to have to swallow my own

Sad bourbon heartbreak.
