The Bottle

This one is kinda angryish, post Jimmy or _ _ _ _ _/five little spaces if you know that poem. This was written when I was dating Mabry, nicknamed B, we aren't together anymore. This is about his violent drinking problems.

It's like a mirror, looking up at you in spite

Like the same, I could spit on you for every day

It'd fall back down on me like what was once my life

You're untouchable, something I often wish away

My stomach churns just thinking

About how stupid, you're almost just like me

I told myself I'd open my eyes to you, finally

You're like a lock, and I've swallowed every key

Put the bottle down, when it's present you're missing

You've forced me in a race on making it to the grave

Who'll be first, the same routine or losing everything

B, you used to be my hero, I'm trying to be brave

Just like both of mine, your hand is raised

The chaste judge, calling attention to the crime

One day fingers posed here will turn into a wave

I fear your life more than I fear losing mine

Look what I found, please look what I found

Purple stained teeth-marks just like I'm used to

I'm scared for you when you're not around

I'm shaking when you're here for what you might do

Can't swim the rushing current when storm hovers sea

Can't calm the fighting army who forgot they're in a team

Could you lend me your sinless hands, to show me who I am?

Shake me again to reality, show me your fatal plan
