A Belt isn't a Rope

By happilydepressed

A belt isn't a rope
A rope isn't a belt
I've suffered for dope
That sick to the stomach feeling I felt

I tried to escape
My life i tried to end
I tried side stepping fate
I tried to consul a friend

I can't watch my family crumble
I can't stand christmas without the children
I watch her burn her future in a glass bubble
I see her fall into that abyss once again

I can't help even though I try
She ruins my life with her habit
She says it and I know it's just a lie
"I haven't touched it today I've quit"

A belt isn't a rope
A rope isn't a belt
We have suffered long enough where is hope
I can't accept the fate that's been dealt
