Another one for mom

Alcohol is running your life,
Buying you time
Causing me strife.
Drinking is obviously your cure,
Eating you away at the source most pure.
Fighting and yelling
Getting drunk all the time,
How about you screw up your life
I'll worry about mine.
Jealousy overrides your maternal concers
Knowing you envy me gives life a big turn.
Lie in bed another day
Mother your just fading away.
Now I know I love you was never true Now I can say that I hate you.
Over and over your drunkeness claims my life,
Paining my heart, your my knife.
Questions are not what you hear anymore,
Remorse is your home on the sea shore.
Sighing as you pick up another bottle,
Telling myself your no role model.
Under these layers, under this skin,
Visibly hidden, is my pain within.
Walking and crying,
X-ray to your mind
Your out of control.
Zero nonsense, zero skill Drowning away, your life long thrill.

Author notes

This is another one for my mom. I tried a new form and it was actually easier than i thought it would be. Any comments or grammer/ spelling mistakes feel free to point them out.
