Liquid courage by momo215

Liquid courage Why did you say you loved her just to end up breaking her. Why did you have to leave her.? You didn’t want to hurt her but you did. You hurt her when you picked up that bottle and you somehow forgotten how to put it back down. Why did you pick it up in the first place? Now that liquid courage isn’t just some courage anymore is it? It’s your whole life. You can’t breathe without. You can’t live without. Isn’t it funny how you said you couldn’t do either of those things without her. But now look she is gone and you’re still living and breathing with that liquid courage. Why couldn’t you get the help she was willing to help you with. Why did you push her out of your life? It wasn’t you was it? It was that so called liquid courage that you pour down your throat no matter how bad it burns. Why didn’t you listen to her? She was your real courage. She gave you life. She held you close at night when those nightmares came back. She held your hand when things got bad so you knew you weren’t alone. But now you’re holding hands with that bottle. You are so numb you can’t feel anything. What you thought that was better than trying to move forward in life. You call that liquid courage but it makes you a coward because you can’t accept how your life was before. And now you can’t change it.
