The Bottle Between Us

She loves you with her entire heart, But you’re the one who tore her apart. The long days and long nights, The endless yells and countless fights. A mother-daughter bond that can never exist, Because with alcohol, there is no resist. A childhood ruined by her mother, We only get one- we don’t get another. She begged you to put the bottle down, But you never will, not til’ you’re in the ground. A girl who went through life without her mother, Wandering through crowds that blur into each other.
