Your face and rotting teeth and heavy jowls
         and sunken breasts with bulging waist and
         wooden legs
         betray
Your image of laughter,...

Lightheaded I ambled
towards the lonely pub.
Liquor helps sometimes you know.
It burns the mind,
empties it
of niggling thoughts,
of subtle yearnings,
of ambitious aspirations.
 
There she was
redhead and flushed.
A companion in distress.
We drank together,
confessed together,
envied together.
 
Time's up.
Outwards we lurched
hugging each other
towards the beach
where empty cabins
gave us respite.
 
Morning...

He is addicted to the bottle
Despite what his words tell a friend
His hands reach out to the liquor
As if it contains the cure for his failures
He takes a drink, never thinking
Of all the pain this poison will bring
To him, his wife and their children
Everyone who...

Your eyes are glazed
As if you're already dead.
I'm afraid that the bottle
Has finally gotten to your head.
You sit in your own filth,
And you don't even care.
Have you given up?
You don't even brush your hair.
I wish things could go back
To how they used to be.
Seeing you...

I’m the first one to admit
that I do not mind a beer
or two, or three, or many more
and toasts that bring on cheer.

At each Sunday bar-be-cue
while the kids go off to play
can after can is opened up,
so beer wastes the day away.

But one day when...

I
am
so sad
my soul aches
I don't want to drink
but it allows me to function
when gin is not in my system my body just shakes 
I'm an alcoholic that's lost self, family and job, a loser without a home

I drink more than I should,
But not as much as I can,

My father drank himself half to death.
I tried to understand why.
But I became stumped and hurt every time I thought about it.
He became drunk and argumentative but always assured us he never meant it.

I became my mother’s best friend more than a daughter.
She would ask...

I Am Alcoholic
       Unable 
to regulate my soul 
   my thoughts 
    are doomed
           IT
Defeated my entity 
dictated my pleasure's

I used to pretend you were a glass of sweet red wine, a crystal glass full of something that made my head spin. and you promised that you wouldn't hurt me, aged to perfection, pure, with just the right amount of sin. 
They told me...

I smoked a pack of Marlboros 
Every day, left butts smoldering
In dirty, smelly ashtrays
The nicotine addiction compelled 
Me to quit… yet, I did not
I smoked until there was only
Short, spasmic breaths
Left in my black lungs
And oxygen had to be taken aside
So I could light up

I...

In the shadows of my mind
There is a memory of you, laughing
Despite the pain that hung like a curtain
Shading the windows of your heart,
Stopping the light who glistened
Just beyond your feelings,
Where doubt told you to disregard
The gentle touch of its shafts,
Promising energies that would silence
All...
