I won't say your name, <br /> <br />For I don't know you anymore, <br /> <br />All the drapes are closed, <br /> <br />And I've closed all the doors, <br /> <br />I just want some peace, <br /> <br />After this storm I've let in, <br /> <br />I realize now, <br /> <br />It's a battle I can't win. <br /> <br />It's as if there's a demon, <br /> <br />He has your soul in chains, <br /> <br />During this fight, <br /> <br />My tears flowed like rain, <br /> <br />The person you are, <br /> <br />Disappears more each day, <br /> <br />You become uglier, <br /> <br />With each word that you say, <br /> <br />A Jeckyl and Hyde, <br /> <br />You become with each drink, <br /> <br />Your mind goes rotten, <br /> <br />And you no longer think, <br /> <br />Reasoning and logic, <br /> <br />functions no longer, <br /> <br />The power of the alcohol, <br /> <br />Has gotten incredibly stronger, <br /> <br />Just like a freight train, <br /> <br />Out of control on a track, <br /> <br />You've run over all of us, <br /> <br />Without looking back, <br /> <br />There comes a time, <br /> <br />When we need save ourselves, <br /> <br />From the result of your drinking, <br /> <br />And this insidious hell. <br /> <br /> <br />For H 2011<br /><br />Victoria Gauci<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/alcoholism-5/
