Who would dare become so bare <br />As to open up one’s heart and share their despair <br />In this world you see, no one’s soul is free, to escape the standards set by thee. <br />The days go by, and the pain persists, and it becomes harder to resist <br />Behind closed doors, to hide the shame, she finds a bottle who would blame <br />Before too long she is fully withdrawn, under its spell, control over her life now is gone. <br />Without regards for family and friends, no escape can be, the bottle has taken a life from me. <br />A beautiful angel, I loved her so much, why did I have to lose her to the bottles false light. <br />She died today, I miss her so much… her smile, her kisses and her soft touch… <br />God Bless you my love, you now are free, to live outside the limits set by thee.<br /><br />Dave Buss<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/behind-closed-doors-12/
