As I Wept

I ran away

from all my responsibilites

 

All i could see

were my inadequecies

my frailities

 

So i locked myself in a bottle

full throttle ahead

 

Wished i were dead

but instead it was he

 

Who lay there dying

on that hospital bed

 

I ran away from his beatings

I couldn't take it anymore

 

Now that he was dying

Why did I find myself crying

 

He was my husband

He was suppose to love me

 

I ran away

And I hid inside a bottle

 

When he died

I got so lost

 

He paid the ultimate price

The day he met with his demise

 

I tried to drink my troubles away

They just doubled as I strayed

 

I made him a promise I haven't yet kept

As I wept

 

That I would be an advocate for him and his friends

Until the day my life ends

 

You see he was afflicted

He was heroin addicted

 

She took his life

a slow painful suicide

I was just his wife
