Alcoholism

You were once my good, reliable friend,
but lately you have been driving me around the bend.
Temporarily you dulled and numbed my senses,
and removed all my emotional fences.
I felt like I was king of the world,
until you made me hurl...

We hung out practically every other day,
I knew I'd had too much when you would make me sway.
We'd be friends before I was legally allowed to be with you,
the morning after I'd look at you and say 'were through!'
But all it took was a bit of everyday stress or anxiety,
to make me come running back to you and face our society!

You and I used to get ourselves in so much trouble,
Stir everything up until it was in one big muddle.
I'd have to apologise for everything, but still place the blame on you,
our nights out suddenly became a major taboo!
The laughter, the sickness, the pain, the pleasure you caused me,
you'd tell me let's just have one, and I ended up having three!

Our relationship eventually became so monotonous,
it started to cause me nothing but distress.
It didn't matter if your name was Becks or Jack,
when we hung out you still turned my world completely black.
You took advantage of me and stole my money,
you made unfunny things appear funny.

Physically draining me and ageing my appearance,
you did nothing but run a degenerative interference.
You kicked the hell out of my friend called Liver,
Now every time he sees you he lets out a shiver.
You caused more stress than joy,
causing me to regress into nothing but a small boy.

I repeatedly said to myself never again,
but those words appeared to be all in vain.
Then a few days later were back at the same chapter,
you're stalking and preying on me like a raptor.
Disorientated, memory impairments and blackouts,
just a few of your tricks, not to mention my continuous doubts..

Now were officially done though.
You've dealt me my final blow.
I will walk away from you now, as its gone too far,
don't even try to pull me towards your bar.
Stay the hell away from me, it's over,
and all I now want to do is stay sober!
