First, I laid down the bottle,
Of course I picked it up a few times
Cried over not having that numbing,
Then set it down again.
After that I set down my phone
Stopped waiting for the phone calls
Tired of the lies.
Sitting quietly in my room one night
I realized my life is cluttered
More than I had thought.
It is all broken
And right now
I cannot fix it.
