The Addiction Devil

Right now, my heart is in my chest.
I stare at the words on this piece of paper
The Neurobiology of Drug Abuse and Addiction

No matter how far we advance in our understanding
It won't bring you back.
But at long last, my anger can dissipate.
Your brain became warped and broken by the poison that ran through your veins.
Plastic changes within the brain that drove you into obsession
Drove me far from your mind.

I wish I could have shown you what I know now.
I wish I could have prevented this from ever happening.
How different would today be?
Would you be there to watch me graduate?
Maybe our family would still be together
... Had the vodka not drove us apart.

I hope science can find the answer.
Because nobody deserves to suffer like you did.
