shame

The sun comes up
I come down
The party’s over
There’s no one around
The new dawn brings death
To the drunken me
My eyes are open
I’m forced to see
Seems I’ve done it again
What I promised not to do
I really meant it when
I said I’d only have two
I hate myself
As much as you hate me
Something is broken, can’t you see?
This is no life
I’m a terrible wife
Will I ever be right?
Will I always fight?
I wish this was over
I just want to sleep
Instead I will cry, beg, plead and weep.
I scream in the silence, of my own mind
Dear God can you help me?
Please help me find,
The meaning of me, so I’m no longer blind
I cross the threshold, on tiptoes, into my home
My families inside, but I am alone.
