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

your so welcome
Hi sadk, a good story and poem!
Hi tallisman, it's nice to hear from you again. Thank you so much for your kind comments!
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."
You do have a point. Thank you for commenting. Always appreciated!
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!
Thank you. It's always a pleasure to read your comments. You're too kind. I'm glad you liked it. This one kind of wrote itself. Thank you for commenting again. Hope to see more of you soon.
Aww you are sweet 🥰 I sure loved this one! Hope to see more too!
