probably won't remember writing this

trying to fix broken people isn't romantic

hoping that with enough love and compassion you will be able to end a viscous cycle of addiction isn't romantic

there is nothing pure or golden about it

neither noble nor valliant

it's just stupid and selfish and idealistic

so let them drink

and drink and drink

because no matter how hard you try

they won't stop

till it's too late
