Leave the Bottle

Contributed by EddieDean on Friday, 12th January 2007 @ 11:20:45 PM in AEST
Topic: drugabuse



A waitress comes By,
I tell her "One more, and leave the bottle".
She does as I Asked,
And doesn't ask "Why?".

Slowly I drain It,
As the alcohol Hits,
Its a chore just to Sit,
And keep my Wits.

With sobering Eyes,
I look at the Bottle,
And start wondering "Why?"

Why do I Drink?
Why do I get Drunk?
Why?

Anger washes over Me,
And I grab the Bottle,
And smash it on the Ground.

"No more!" I scream to the Sky,
I drop to my knees and begin to Cry.

I can't keep going like That,
I can't kee Drinking.
Deeper and Deeper into Myself,
I keep Sinking.

I stand Up,
And walk Out.
I am done Drinking,
Its High Time,
That I Dry Out.

Powerful, I think your mind set is right where it needs to be for the new beginning my friend.
Im proud of you many never do recover.
I could go on and on but I wont. You captured this well.

I was once married to an alcaholic.
Sad but well written.
Hang in there and if u fall just get up and do it again.
Good luck-n-prayers,
emy

I rather like the title, the concept and idea. Were I to make any sort of suggestion ( and this is just me and the way I like to play with words ) I would incorperate the title into the end of the poem as well ... something like

"I am done Drinking,
Its High Time..."

That I leave the bottle

That gives a slight twist to it.

Well written and recognizing a problem is usually the first step to solving one.
