I use and abuse everyone,
I have for years and never cared
As long as I got the attention

My feeling of shame and guilt for this behaviour,
Just keeps growing, but the beer keeps flowing.

Is there possibly a link? Well,
I’ll have to sit and think,
While I have another drink.

Devouring of mind
With corruption to the soul
That leaves a bile repugnant stink.

Released through glands for all to taste,
Upon the breath of air

But now the glass is empty,
And that’s my only care.

Not to sure on the mood of this piece, kinda melancholy, but the last line sounds like it should be quite nonchalant but also sounds like its accepted. I liked the line 'Just keeps growing, but the beer keeps flowing.' and the fourth stanza, but i thought the third was a bit weak. -Lynze
