Dear Alcoholic

Maybe I've become a shitty daughter
But maybe you've become a shitty mom. Maybe I go out with my friends
But you don't notice if I'm gone.
Maybe I like leaving my life messy
But I don't expect you to clean it up
Nor do I want you to.
Maybe I don't have time
But you pretend like I do.
You get mad because I'm growing up
But that's because you're making me. Because you don't want me
Because you don't care about me
Because you don't try to understand
Not anymore.
When I was slipping from your fingers
When I was hiding away
When my blood got thin
When my fingers got cold
When my heart beat slowed
When my smile was lost
When I was leaving
Then you cared.
Then you loved me.
Then I was your baby.
When you thought you were loosing me Then you wanted me. Maybe I should scare you into loving me Maybe I should make you have to care Maybe I should make you hold on to me
Maybe I should let go
Maybe then you'd be mine
Maybe then you'd want me to be yours.
Maybe your words ring true
Maybe I am a bitch
Maybe I'm a shitty girl
Maybe I'm not a part of the family.
But maybe
It's because you treat me like that
Because you don't make me
Want to be any different.
Because you act like that too.
But although this hurts
Although your words tear me apart
It's not worth it anymore.
Cause I have more now.
More to loose.
Too much to loose at the price
Of getting you back.
I shouldn't have to, anyways.
You should want me
You should fight for me.
You should try for me.
But I don't know.
Maybe you're just as weak as I am
Maybe you're waiting for me to care.
But that's the thing,
Maybe I'm the teenager.
Maybe you're the adult.
