New Year's Eve Blues

After the day I had I could care less Being sad is all I wish to do tonight Confetti in crowds makes me stressed Dear Lord, I wish we could reunite Everyone left to hang out downtown Friends no more because I do not drink Going to bed as they watch the countdown How long until these memories go extinct? If only I had a moment to spend with you Joke and laugh and remember our yesterday's Karen, please visit and lend me a tissue Lonely me just needs to know if you're ok Mad at you for taking on the whole world New Year's Eve you killed yourself Opportunities you could never afford Praying constantly for your mental health Quiting while living and dying in vain Regret swallowed you like a tornado Sadness has left bleeding tears that stain Treacherous lava from your volcano Using and drinking became your hell Violent outbursts in the family room Walking alone and drunk you fell Xanax was eventually your doom You need to know how sorry I am Zero smiles because of Karen JoAnn Date Written: December 31, 2015 For the contest: Contest Forms-A Sponsor: Broken Wings

P.S. I read the comments below. I am here, in the USA. My State is Virginia, yours? CayCay (and I have never liked drinking, but am not without some bad habits, shh - don't tell). Read my poem "One More Last Call" about my sibling's addiction issues - or not, depends on what you can handle this moment ... CayCay

You are so sweet CayCay. I feel like I just met you! I've been here for over 2 months but I love the fact I have run into yet one more amazing woman and poet. Soupmail me whenever you wish! I'm always available. I'm going to go read it right now. Thank you for your kind words and inspiration you have given. God Bless -Luloo *smiles* hugs* *thanks* <3

LuLoo - right? I don't know where to begin, that you can take what I believe are true emotions (not a fictional write) and let them flow under this restrictive structure is most impressive! And, although you named specifics, this write hits home for me and, I know, others. Every time I read you I am genuinely impressed - you've got the gift. As for me, I was asleep way before midnight and would like right now to think of you as smiling! 7 ... CayCay
