Erin Soares-Anselmi Poet Rhyme

Liquid Destruction

LIQUID DESTRUCTION

My ol' friend where have you been?
I need you this time once again
You comfort me when I am stressed
My mind you numb with a sweet caress
So l take a drink of you with high expectations
to drown my sorrows with false sensations

My friend I am here for you whenever you need
It was the first taste of me that planted this seed
I have charmed you into full utter submission
taken away all of your hope and ambition
You cry out for me to ease the pain
but really I am the one you should blame
Listen to me and heed my instruction
I am not your friend but liquid destruction

Race Benoit September 12, 2014 at 6:49 PM Quite a valid conversation you have going for yourself, Erin, may I call you Erin? I have been there swimming right along with that liquid destruction, but I fought back and won. I, after many years sober, have begun drinking a couple of glasses of cheap California burgundy in these late years, helps me sleep. Erin Soares-Anselmi September 13, 2014 at 11:44 AM Yes you may call me Erin. This poem was inspired by a few of my family members who have a problem with drinking. I can myself identify with some elements of this . Thank you poem for your comment and honesty. God bless
