It took you

Oh daddy if only you knew
that I can't see you through
the empty bottles scattered around you

Mommy if only you knew
how much I really need you.

If only I knew why mommy and daddy
love alcohol more than me.

But mommy, you can't leave me yet,
why can't you hear me crying,
I am not set
for you to start dying

And daddy you have to stay,
please don't leave me too;
won't you come and play?
I guess what they say is true.

The drink in your hand took my mommy
and daddy too.

The true effects of alcohol often go unrealized. It's rarely thought of as addicting. But it is, and it's powerful. It took the two most important people in my life away from me.
