The Joy I Know Will Be

Topic:
selfstruggles
|
This thought-rock wide from ear to ear
from back of head to front of face-
this worry pleading, begging word,
my brain sore for need of space.
A thought I think of as a stone
weighing on my neck and back-
it grows, it swells till quelled by sleep,
but with dawn's caress it's back.
A drinking man all my life
I ringed a mate the same for ease-
but now we travel to a sober land
not sure of who'll we be.
Will she like the sober Mike
will her enchanting spell on me still hold-
Our unwavering love forever strong
must greet the new and shed the old.
A stranger's coming home next week
the stumbling wreck that left in tears-
we've had a month to change from drunks,
and won't use booze to drink away our fears.
This nagging itch that she won't care
for this new man, this boozeless me-
but it's a trifling thing that'll fade I pray
in the sober joy I know will be.

I'm guessing if she didn't care for you she would not have gone into rehab. Just a thought. Best of luck to both of you.
Thank you for sharing with us your talent.

I can understand those emotions.
However you both are evolving together and being drunk was never any sort of glue for a relationship. You both may see you wasted much time and now you can go through life together instead of floating through it blindly. Very nice write.
I wish you both well.

Yes, "A stranger's coming home next week" (to a stranger!)
Two blank slates, two empty plates;
Remember as you wish;
Mistakes are part and parcel of
a fine and tasty dish!
Although you do this together,-- you will each need to sift what is negotiable and what is not.
Whatever remains are the ingredients of a new beginning. Good luck, and good love to you.

First of all congratulations on getting sober, I know from watching my brother how much hard work that takes. Working the program together will also be a bond that few others will understand, someone who gets the bad days and won't judge. My guess is she also has the same fears about you. Your write was emotional for me as it brought back a few memories of my brother who passed away Dec19, 2009 -13 months sober and made me think about how hard it must have been for him to come back to us.
Thanks for sharing.
