Watching you

Watching you


I'm sitting there watching 
you passed out on the floor.
Because of your binge drinking.
It's happening more than before.

I go the get an extra sheet
To cover your naked frame
Everything but your head and feet.
Again jealousy is to blame.

I worry about you when you drink
When mom worked at that bar
You're worried what other men think.
But you shouldn't even drive a car.

Right now I'm just a little kid
Trying to learn right from wrong
But I can see the wrong in what you did.
If you keep it up you won't live long.

I want you to be here with us
I love you more than you’d ever know
But you come in late and yell and cuss.
While your anger and reactions grow.

You really tried countless times
To quit smoking To make me happy
As to me I considered it a crime
Because the smoke really bothers me.

Later as the years passed by.
You had some heart attack
I thought you were going to die.
And I'd never have my daddy back.

You opened up Hollywood Palms.
Then mom could work with you.
You're drinking stopped you were calm.
Your days or working were through.
