Dear mother, I am sorry
I haven't written recently
It's been pretty hard lately
To spare the demons between me
There's a devil in every drink I have
And the less I see the light
I'm so sorry that I've failed you
And gave up on the fight
I owed it to everyone just to try
And get back on my feet
I used to be the star of the team
But my future is an obsolete
And after what had happened
I could barely take the pain
I compare the win and loss of life
To the thrill of a football game
I could've done such better things
Had people not been envious
They sabotaged my biggest chance
And made life torturous
I witnessed love and held her form
Until she took to the skies
After watching her go I realized
That love is watching someone die
The past of me reflects inside
The bottom of every bottle
But I remember what you always said
"That God hears all and sees all."
That's why today I'll take a shot
If just to make you proud
And let my thoughts within
Finally be spoken aloud
I hope you don't forget
That I'll still try for you
And hope that you're still up there
Watching everything I do
I'll wrap this up now I guess
And pick up the pieces again
Talk to you again sometime
With lots of love, Justin
