Whatever happened to you and I?
When did you decide you'd rather die?
We used to be friends,
Together till the end.
Now, the bottle's taken over your life,
And left me to wonder what happened to my wife?
For years I was way too blind to see,
That your disease now controls me!!

Even when you're completely sober,
Your deceit and lies quickly take over.
I keep expecting the real you to show,
Instead of the "evil one" I've come to know.
I've come to know her way too well,
This "demon" from the darkest depths of Hell!!
She won't be leaving anytime soon....
Our relationship, it seems, is destined for doom!!

The smartest woman, and so, so sweet
Insert alcohol and find a woman, NOBODY wants to meet.
19 years we've been together,
The woman I love has diappeared forever.
I don't know who you are anymore
The one I hate or the one I adore?

Blaming myself for too many years,
Crying a few too many tears.
You just kept on drowning,
While I just kept on frowning.
Wondering what I did so bad
To make you always feel so sad.

Now I think, I finally see,
It's me on which the "demon" feeds.
This has little to do with you,
It's about MY mind, it's my disease too.

I've given up on waiting
For you to change your life.
I've give up the hating,
Of my once so loving wife!!

....poetry is always cleansing for me. They're crappy little ditties but they do help me feel better.

I predict you will be thrilled the day you can say "thank you, they bring me joy."

I know I was.
