Bottom Of The Bottle Poem by Ashley Bachtel

I've seen this before a million times
you think more with your thirst and less with your mind
Same old story, just a different face. And even more scars that can't be erased.
A different connection but it still burns like mace.
You drink away time, you drink away pain, you drink just for fun
You throw away your life because its so much easier to run
I don't know whats real, or what you really feel
Is what you say what you actually mean or is it just the auto machine?
Don't you ponder how it'd be if your mind was clean?
Will you remember me in the morning, or will I fade as you're snoring?
I love you true, I'll be here for you to help you through.
I'll be your cure, I'll be your desire, I'll be your addiction, I'll be your fire.
I want the real you, not just what whiskey makes
its way too easy to just find some fakes
Theres only one you, the only one for me
I'll help you renew, I'll be what you need
My dear, my love, let go of the throttle
before you hit rock bottom
hit the bottom of the bottle.
