You always told me that you would change


You promised me things would get better
You said that you would get clean

But you never tried to get over this


All you’re doing is downgrading yourself
Your boyfriend dragged you in to a dark pit you cant get out of


Its not all his fault




You chose this too




Makes me ashamed






You changed


Things got worse rather then better



Instead of being clean










You are
An addict






-A dead beat
A drunk







-A scammer
A robber








-A no good




Worst of all you’re a liar
