Holding the bottle to my lips trying to forget.
You won't let me.
Your memory won't let me.
They're holding me here when all I want is to escape.
I want to erase them.
I want to see them gone.
This is the only way.
It makes me numb.
It takes away the pain.
The pain that you put there.

Clear-cut emotion in every line. Not many words have been said, but then again, so many have. Great job and best of luck!
