In Alcoholism's Grip I weep

[Emptiness consumes everything
Or what little I have left
These wounds, once shallow
Now deep and festering]
Smelling the perfume on your shirt
Thoughts of you pervade my senses,
But even as the perfume fades
So does everything I thought I had with you
The demons encircle and pull me under
While I stare at your beautiful face
Tears bathe me for I cannot kiss you
For fear of tainting you
I reject you, for I would only destroy
With my alcoholism and depression
Wrapped in rusted chains
Self-destructive tendencies
Stroke me with reassurances
Worry rapes my fragile mind
Meandering in painful solitude
Dark, cold mornings grip
This broken, tortured soul
Imagination only works for so long
Before reality takes over
And the reality is... you are gone
Left only to weep
In alcoholism's grip

| A good poem well worded and a most unusual topic. Alcohol is a killer and I have lost a couple of friends through it. I myself do not touch it. Top marks from bern. |

Flawless... heartwrenchingly flawless, and I have no other words to praise such a divine and sorrowful masterpiece... More when they return.. *Massive huggles of strength and love for a struggling friend!* Hang in there, cheri... I'm always here for you, :).
Always and forever,
Your speechless friend/little flower,
