A Bitter Brew

Thirst creeps over an exhausted soul, Staring at a bottle of madness. Labeled insanity's origin, A mixture of flavors so callous. Bitter undertones brewed deep within, Hatred harmoniously ferments. A dash of anxiety mixed in, A pinch of disdain to complement. Anxious fingers crack open a brew, A refreshingly cold hiss escapes. Eyes widen, dry lips happily curl, A vile tendency perpetuates. One sip of this evil elixir, Releases the demons deep within, Corrupting a once innocent heart, Let delinquent decisions begin.

The perfect poem that describes my ex-husband - an alcoholic. The alcohol definately bought out the evil in him...
