Drinking issues

sadkw33n

I was locked in my room and it felt like it was snowing

Pillows on the floor, and the afternoon sun glowing 

It was the middle of June but i swear to god I was freezing

And the demon in my head was calling me names and teasing 

You knocked on the door and i didn't want to let you in

But your voice was shaking, i guess you were worried sick 

 

You said " your mind is collapsing, you need to stop drinking but you don't seem to care 

Please, stop being like this, you're whispering things that you told me you would never say

This isn't what you promised

Is it that now you're being honest?"

And i said "No! That's not the case at all

That's just a bottle of lies to hide my troubled soul

It just makes me warm when I'm feeling cold 

Like i have some form of control " 

 

Your tears were flowing while my eyes were dry 

Sorry but i didn't really have the strength to cry 

I asked "do you pity me for carrying this weight?

For being born with a sickness but choosing to stay?"

You said "there's no doubt in my mind that you're brave 

But instead let me hold you and put the bottle away" 

 

And that's when i knew 

I wanted to marry you

          Thoughtful poem. Sums up well the problem with alcohol. It's distructive.
          I heard someone sum it up well the other day.
          "One drink is too many but ten is not enough."

            The interpretation of feeling cold inside by your thoughts is mind blowing!
            Your tears were flowing while my eyes were dry
            Sorry but i didn't really have the strength to cry
            This line is so relatable when you reach a point where you feel that you don’t even have the strength to express yourself because you are tired and you can’t even gather up the strength to let it out. I love the imagery in this one! And the last 2 lines emit a feeling of warmth!
