Before I could even count, you were drinking from that bottle. Becoming stranger and stranger to me after each and every swallow. One, Two, Three, The time went on, and before I could count to ten you were already gone. Four, Five, Six, Seven, Before I knew it I was eleven. Still though nothing had changed, that bottle had always been around; it was really nothing strange. Eight, Nine, Ten, Eleven, Thats all that she could take, she kicked you out the door; said she had made a mistake. Twelve years was all it took. To drive us all away. But atleast you have your bottle, right? To this very day.
