Wine

zhangyuyouyu

Wine.

The exhilaration it gives at just a glance

A sip for courage

Two sips for satisfaction

Yet still feels lacking...

Third sip... Fourth sip...

Endless refills...

 

A glass of expensive wine.

Sips of addiction

More and more bottles of expensive wine

Gulps of over indulgence 

Yet still feels inadequate

 

A glass of red wine.

Many gulps to drown out the sorrows

For the head to be giddy and light

To finally head off to slumber land

For the mind to be drowsy

To escape the harsh reality

And not feel hollow

 

Glass.

Spend a night vomiting

Spend days regretting

Yet when the darkness arrives

The vicious cycle repeats

An unstoppable addiction it is.

    Yes, indeed! Alcohol is a vicious habit to break! But please drop the bottle when it gets out of hand! I need more of your poetry! 😭😉

      thank you for your kind words. I think my poem talks about addiction in general. I find them the same feeling.

      A case study in will power

      • zhangyuyouyu

        That I lack off but will get there slowly
