He Has Bottomed Out<\/p>\n
I dream of the person I might have been.
\nI could have been great!! I say it again.
\nBut, something pulled me down to hell.
\nLike a mill stone around my neck. I can tell.
\nThat something is you. You drug me down.
\nYou\u2019re a devil woman, not a clown.
\nYou play your game with major skill.
\nIn no time, you had captured my will.
\nYou made me despise myself.
\nMade me feel like I need beat with a belt.
\nI gave all I could, but you wanted more.
\nYou sucked me dry of all I adore.
\nYou cursed me. You wanted to from the start.
\nMaking statements like we will never be apart.
\nThere is nothing worth saving in you.
\nYou should be stomped under someone\u2019s shoe.
\nYou are a demon from hell working your spell.
\nMy ego is lower than the deepest well.
\nI have to fall out of bed to be somewhat up.
\nI have drank your poison from a bitter cup.
\nI will never recover from what you did to me.
\nI am a ruined wreck of a man. Can\u2019t you see?
\nThere is nowhere for me to go from here.
\nI have reached my final end. Is that clear?
\nMove on down the road & leave me in peace.
\nI have gone as far down as I can reach.
\nI will never see the light of day again.
\nJust let me rot here in my den of sin.
\nCover me over with the last of your scorn.
\nBe assured, I will never be reborn.<\/p>\n
