They say that a frog in a saucepan

Does not feel the water get hot I guess that is what I was doing I was drinking and I couldn’t stop

The temperature it was growing My time felt like mine less and less

But apparently I didn’t notice I was boiling under the stress

Yet some part of me it was screaming

Get out of the water you fool! I was drinking all secret and lonely

A concrete bench for my bar stool

So I capsized the pot by exploding Got so drunk they just had to know As my world flew around would the pieces

Recover and on with the show?

In the spill of defeat I just lay there Wondering how in the world to get up When God spoke to me through my most loved one

Said there’s AA, why don’t you sign up?

I wept like a baby and maybe That moment was like being born

Defeat was one way of life dying That first meeting like a new dawn.
