Poem Title:
Poem
Rivers run with thickened sludge cradles overflow with rum the happy heart is lost to rage a thought provoking slimy cage When once I tasted love as sweet now I walk on darkened feet The love is lost to alcohol a slimy taste does really well She was sweet I used to think but now the pain a darkened soul I do not see her quite as well Perhaps the bottle that she needs Demands another day be lost the broken sleep with bills to pay I do not want to see today I do not think she understands The lover lost within this man The broken walk a stumble run Her feet can't hold our path is done the words of pity that I hear As she repeats them every year repeating time and time again the past repeated in her pain become the torture yet again I helped her first to find a job and yet she wasted life away she does not have the job today I helped her them to have a house With out her job the double wage I became the slave that day I helped her then to have a car Drink and drive she raised the bar Another bill created star I helped her then with education instead she sort the bottle spell and lost her self esteem as well Depression mixed with rum and coke I think today my heart did choke You fools I think both young and old why do you drink your life to mould
