I Didn't Care

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 5 months ago 1 min read

[verse 1]

When the strength you found in the bottle

Brought out the affectionate side of you,

You would hug and hold me so close, while

Wrapping me in your deceptive truth

I didn’t care that you were drinking.

[Verse 2]

When  you would howl out her name

In heart-wrenching agony and pain

Unable to even raise

your broken body and soul

Off the cold tiled bathroom floor.

I didn't care that you were drinking

[Chorus]

I didn’t care that you were drinking.

I didn’t care at all

That's when you would hold me close and tight

Believing I was her

I didn't care that you were drinking

Because then for just a short time

I could pretend you were really mine

I didn't care that you were drinking

I didn't care at all

[Verse 3]

When you looked at me confused

Unable to even recognize My face

because of the ferocious hunger

You felt to bring her back home

While your grief was swallowing you whole.

I didn't care that you were drinking

[Chorus]

I didn’t care that you were drinking.

I didn’t care at all

That's when you would hold me close and tight

Believing I was her

I didn't care that you were drinking

Because then for just a short time

I could pretend you were really mine

I didn't care that you were drinking

I didn't care at all

I loved you most when you

Were drinking
