My Worst Enemy

Your empty lonely home is a shrine to your pathetic life
You are nothing because you chose to be nothing
Below average you are
In a plain wrapper you were brought into this life
Perhaps you'll leave the same way
Tonight you drink and sleep
Your dreams are filled with the memories of the ones you left
Shower of tears that we made will flood your home and bring it down faster than a hurricane
The cheap whores you sleep with...
The drugs you take...
Are a shield to what you don't want to remember
You're alive but we've lost you a long time ago
You're my brother but you are also my enemy because you wanted it this way

Don't let any one shake your dream stars from your eyes, lest your soul Come away with them! -SS
