We'd both seen this coming for awhile now
Yet we'd managed to neglect it somehow.
Through the looking glass of tears and stained tiles
Through the cracked and shattered fake smiles.
Through washed blood from opened scars
When I found you emptied out in hometown bars.
Passed blurried eyes and foggy car windows
Into alcohol filled veins and tear soaked pillows.
Instead of you embracing me I cradled you
Passing down dreamless hallways inable to get through.
The war hasn't begun it's been going on for ages
You've set up your defences but I'm not in those stages.
I don't want to fight I want you better
But this letter, I won't regret her.
Please tell me you understand my pain and sorrow
Please get better, I'll see you tomorrow.
