The boy you once were is now a distant memory,
Fading with every pill you take,
Fading with every drug you swallow,
Fading with every ounce of liquor you consume,
Fading faster than you can comprehend.
All I see now is the shell of a boy who was once happy.
His dark circles under his eyes tell of all those sleepless nights,
And all the stones he left unturned.
I must say I take responsibility for this...
I should've been there.
I was your angel and I left,
Leaving you at the mercy of your mind.
I'm sorry.
My only wish is that I would've left when you were strong enough to stand on your own,
And brave the storm.
