"The drugs and the drinking, it all has to stop Danny."

You know I love you, but I can't take it. Two years ago
you changed my life and then you changed yourself. You
turned my whole world into a personal Hell. My days were
spent wondering if you were going to come home from work
or if you were in a ditch somewhere and nights without
sleep wondering if I should just leave, just get up and leave.

"Amy, why are your bags packed?"

I tried to tell you that you were out of line, that you
were so out of line and that if you didn't stop things
were just going to get worse. You never believed me and
you never tried to get better, and they did, everything
got worse.

"No...no meant no Danny."

It hurt, all of it hurt. The bruises and the scratches
and the loss of blood and trust. Remember that time you
brought me flowers for the first time? I remember, that
was the night you made it official, and we shared our
first kiss. I usually think back to that time, but the
other night, you crossed a line and I didn't think about
it then. I was too busy trying to stop you.

"Amy, I'll get help, I need it I know. I'm so sorry."

The last time you said that I got sick and spent the night
sprawled out across the bathroom floor, trying to hold back
the tears while you went for a walk to the bar. That was
the night that I lost the baby. Remember? You should, you're
the reason it happened.

"I'm leaving, maybe you can spend your days dwelling behind
the bar, or maybe you won't dwell at all. Just go back, go
back to the bar Danny."

I hope that things work out for you, I hope you get better.
Above all though, I hope I get better. I'm leaving here with
an empty place in my body and nothing but regret. I'm letting
go.

"I'll let you go."
Lame, but we were talking about drugs and alcohol in Psych today and I just scribbled this all down.

Probably one of my favorite and best places to write: in a thought-provoking class. :heart:
