In the dim glow of a familiar room,
Where laughter once echoed clear,
Now silence reigns, a looming gloom,
The bottle whispers, drawing near.

Promises broken, dreams now fade,
As liquid courage takes its toll,
In hazy nights where hopes are laid,
The heart’s desires slowly fold.

A fleeting warmth, a false embrace,
That numbs the pain of day and night,
Yet leaves behind a hollow space,
Where shadows linger, stealing light.

Awaken now from the empty spree,
To find the strength to break away,
Reclaim the life, set the spirit free,
From whispers that led the heart astray.
