There's only room for one person in a bottle

You won't find anyone else there
You won't find your son
Your career
Your happiness
or success.

There's only room for one person in a bottle

You won't find brilliance
You won't find works of art
And you won't find peace of mind
more time, the future, or mend your broken heart

There's only room for one person in a bottle

You will not find who you are
or who you're meant to be
You won't find answers to the questions that you seek
and you won't find a best friend that you can keep

There's only room for one person in a bottle

You won't find a lover or passion
You won't make a name for yourself
You won't find peaceful rest
or imagination

There's only room for one person in a bottle

You won't find respect or love
You won't find money or guidance
You will only find loss, loneliness, numbness and regret
And you won't find me or what we could be
Because there's no room you see

There's only room for one person in a bottle....

I wrote this some time ago it was actually my first poem in years. It was to express my opinion on a sensitive matter to someone I really cared about. It opened my eyes too because sometimes you just gotta take the bad with the good.
