Bottoms Up
Dear Dad,
at the age of three I could see
that you had chosen a bottle over me.
Your left hand was holding a cigarette and your right holding a beer.
It sucks knowing that that was more dear.
I wish you had held me as securley as your drink
but when you didn't have it, it seemed that you were missing a link.
there goes another empty bottle in the trash, clink.
