She Drank To Forget

She drank to forget She drank to numb the pain She drank hoping to get drunk every day It was the way for her to cope She believed she had no hope And when intoxicated She sleep with any man Who offered her a drink or two She knew that love was not due They simply wanted her body So they could screw It meant nothing to them And even less to her She was drunk most of the time And had lost hope through and through She used them for the alcohol Gave them her body and her dead heart and soul Emotionless and tired she just lay there For them to do just what they wished Often passed out after they finished But she was known to do this while they were still going This is a tale of hurt, pain and damage So don't judge her too harshly damn it Unless you've walked a mile in her shoes She is one of life's lost victims And now can't cope with anything It's sad to see but that's the simple truth She did not know what else she was supposed to do.

Commendable piece Fauxcroft. Those are shoes nobody likes to try on; you did so with tenderness and respect. xomo
