I don't remember half the **** i said, nor do i remember half the **** i did. But i do remember the only way i could even function without you. One beer in one hand and a shot in the other was the only way to truly numb the pain. All of that just to be able to get out of bed after sleeping for 20-30 minutes a night, without being soaked and shaking in desperation that is. I do remember smiling, singing, and dancing during the day, until the night stole my happiness away; with a piousness liquid and drugs i was aware/unaware i had par taken in. I remember my motto became "Oh well." and "Who cares." I don't remember the pain in your eyes when i'd walk away leaving a foul stench behind me. My mind had taken control while my addition had swallowed me whole.   I don't even remember caring, if i could help it. I left the few small pieces of my heart and soul in you safe warm home. I do however remember almost dying in detox. I will never forget the violent shakes, ***** and heaves, barely being able to breathe for hours on end; being so close to death i could taste the dark dryness. The utter hopelessness had taken me to the point that i started praying to a god I had no belief in to end it all. Broken beyond repair as i pulled out my hair, hollow screams escaped into something less than the molecules in the air. Yet here i sit today, still ******* in tobacco smoke waiting, always waiting. But what exactly am i waiting for? For this incurable disease to take control once more? I have never been know for letting myself be happy for too long. Or is this really my first real chance at a fresh start with a mature mind?   Time will tell with many known/unknown colors, I suppose.

This is all too much to explain fully. Take it however you choose for i have nothing much else to say on this subject right now.
