Standing In Silence...

The bottle is your closest friend,
Helping you slip away,
Into your daily coma,
The numbness takes over,
And reality is no more.

Am I here?
Do you even see me?
Watch me disappear,
From all that you can see.


I look at you in disgust,
Sitting in your chair,
In the grandest ol’ stupor,
As you ask me to get you another,
But I only walk away.

I am your daughter,
Not your bar-tender,
You drink it like water,
And give in to its splendor.


LIE UPON LIE!
SCAR UPON SCAR!
SLOWLY YOU KILL YOURSELF!

With that poison dripping down your throat.
I cannot help you now,
‘Cuz you don’t realize,
What you’ve already destroyed…

The picture of my father,
That I held so closely to my heart,
Gone.
Burned.
Torn.
Wasted away.

What power of heart cry is in this - moving me to compassion and a wish to comfort - wonderfully expressed -

Thanks everyone...This is one of my never-ending issues that I have to deal with...But I don't know why I even bother anymore...There's nothing I can do about it anyways...You can't help someone unless they want to help themselves..

Yeah I know but it's so frustrating that no matter how much I try to get him to listen...It just goes in one ear and out the other.Thanks for the replies everyone.
