Behind the mask

I wake up screaming every night,
afraid of a monster that appears when I close my eyes,
 I remember like it was yesterday,
the first time I have seen your face,

the day your mask fell down,

I realized that my whole life was a lie,
you were only  a ghost,
here to take my heart of gold,

Many times I begged you to stop doing this to yourself,
Many times I have told you that it will kill you in the end,
Although I tried so hard to make you see,
You have died the way you lived,

Alone and overdosed,
Drowning in alcohol,
No one even heard your desperate crys for help,
You died beside the bottle,your only friend
