Whiskey and False Hope

My mind is racing, the world around me is spinning. Time is slowly passing by. I think I am in that place again, I tell myself but I'm not really sure where that is. It's been four months since I last felt your lips against mine. I started smoking cigarettes again but I can't burn the taste of your lips. It wreaks like whiskey and false hope. It's like i'm drowning but I just won't die. It's been four months but i'm back where I started. I'm staring at these blank walls around me It's like they Are crashing upon me yet I don't want to move. Everyone around me is living while i'm losing grip of reality, As I fall to the ground. I wake up 6 hours later. I guess I need to take more next time. co

Catherine,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
