one sip

Sip after sip
Tossed bottles
When does it stop
No tomorrow

I watch you do this
Every single night
It's like you don't see it
The pain in my eyes

From the time I was little
To this very day
I hate alcohol
It tears you apart

It makes mom angry
To watch you drink
She shakes her head
It makes her think

The worst part is
You don't care
It hurts your body
Yet you continue

What you haven't considered
The problem you ignore
Is what we would do without you
If you leave us for alcohol

A decision each time
One you always fail
It's drinking or family
Only one survives

The more you drink
The better it feels
The more you forget
The less you heal

It hurts to watch
Especially when we talk
You say meaningful things
Yet the next morning they're gone

You don't remember
Telling me you're proud
If you really loved me
You would save yourself

It's to the point of lost hope
The same story is told
There goes dad again
Drunk in the garage

The day that I lose you
When your liver fails
It will hurt even more
You chose to let it kill you
